Spinal cord stimulator support

Posted by robyng @robyng, Mar 27 7:34am

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.

I wish you well I tried but couldn’t get past the trial period I know of others who are very happy with it say that they could not walk without it. Big hugs for you happy it works for you.
Just something I could not do, big problem is I have type 2 diabetes and it drove my sugar levels way up

Thanks for posting this Robyng the doctor wants me to get one but the pain doctor thinks there might be something else wrong in my back. I had L4-S1 fusion last April. Pain doctor said stimulator will help with leg, anal, groin pain but not the back pain. If anyone has been in pain with this situation how do you treat the 2 different pains?
