Hi Ray,
About the implant, you have to find a Good Pain Management Doctor. Research.
I have the implant for many years and it works.
Same day surgery, Explain in lay terms.
A battery in implanted side of stomach area, than a Catheter is implanted from the battery up the spine. You are given a small remote device called a Bolus that you put over the battery that will start the Stimulater , in a short time you will feel relief from the spine pain. Medtronic is a good Company. I hope this helps.
N.W. N.J. only 1 heavy snow fall 12 in. We never get to 1 degree!
Stay Warm

the Stimulater, in a short time you feel relief from spine pain.

Thanks, @penn. I did some reading up on the device (on Medtronic's website), and it appears the device is primarily for the relief of pain. I'm one of the fortunate ones (exceedingly fortunate!) who doesn't have pain as one of my PN symptoms. This is a seemingly endless quest we're on, all of us, looking for help with our individual symptoms. Thanks again, @penn, and I wish you well on your quest! –Ray (@ray666)
