Spinal cord stimulator support

Posted by robyng @robyng, Mar 27, 2024

I recently had a spinal cord stimulator implanted and would love to hear from others who have one and their experiences.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Chronic Pain Support Group.

No .. insurance will pay .. I had over 60k spent myself trying to fix myself threw treatments .. my insurance would not cover me any more when it went above 40k they pulled the plug .. I was a customer of there’s 30yrs .. I would never bother again ..

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I thought for sure a pain pump would be the answer to my prayers for pain relief, but now I’m hearing so many stories of how they don’t work. I’m guessing once you switch to a pain pump they won’t give you oral pain meds anymore?? Sounds exactly my pm Dr! Horrible bedside manners, offers no ideas for other treatment options, he has no empathy and has even yelled at me when I confronted him on something he had said to me at the previous appt. He claims to be a CRPS specialist but he barely knows anything about it!!
