Hi! Before you have this surgery please talk to others. I know of only a few people that the stimulator has worked for and it was only a temporary fix. Most of them have gotten worse since the stimulator was put in. Makes sense to me since your stimulating the same nerves that are causing you pain int he first place. What kind of meds are you taking? Each of respond differently to them and maybe you should try a different combination. I am constantly adding or subtracting meds to find the right combo that gives me relief and allows me to sleep 8 hrs a day. You can always email me if you wish. God Bless and keep seeking answers, every little bit of info helps. Take Care Aim for No Pain
