Anyone tried Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pain?

Tank you for the information regarding the Spinal Card Stimulation. My only question has to do with the numbness pain, tingling and pins and needles pain sensation in both legs, feet fro the waist on down. Does this stimulation help with those pains?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

@goetf4997 Sorry that I don't have an answer for you Fred, but I suggest that you contact Vladimir N. Kramskiy, MD
Assistant Attending Neurologist, Hospital for Special Surgery who authored the article. The Hospital for Special Surgery is in New York City, and interestingly, is the only hospital that outranks Mayo in Orthopedics.

Fred a great story was recently posted on Mayo Clinic Sharing about a patient that had success with a Spinal Cord Stimulator implant. This may help with your discussion with your provider of choice.

Thanks so much for posting this. My pain management doctor has recommended this and I’m trying to get as much information as possible about this before my next appointment. This was very helpful.

I don't get on here as much as I'd like. Pain. Job. Life. But man, what a blessing this web-site, community is. Thanks for being here for us, Mayo!

I’d like to echo what you said. This site is the BEST! The information is so helpful! It’s nice to know I am not alone and there’s a place I can go to to get some answers. My heart breaks for those who suffer so much more than I do. You are in my prayers! Finally, thanks to the moderators and volunteers for your helpful comments and advice!

I had the trial for pain cord stimulator. My Mayo Dr
sent me to a closer Dr. at the time I thought it helped 50 percent, that was until the week was over.
I quickly realized it helped 70 percent and I can’t wait to get the implant. Honestly the buzzing affect
didn’t bother me as much as pain.
I ended up with help from lead manager, who called everyday, to set it just on my legs. My back hurts but not as bad as legs. I want to walk, I’m very weak I haven’t done much in 2 years.

They can set the remote to work on just legs or legs and back.

I’m glad to hear that your trial was successful! I hope the implant will go well too and you will get back to walking. That will make you feel so much better. My thoughts and prayers are with you!
