I had a spinal stimulator put in a few years back. Helps alot at night but has its disadvantages also. My youngest got me some pot and that helps. Is you pain in all joints or in your back? My lower back is pinching and a waist belt help more than anything. Joints, knees, hands, elbows, shoulders get Diclofenac sodium topical gel (Voltaren) 2 to 3x a day if needed. Also found Gabapentin works good with tramidol before bed quiets things down. Does this sound like what you were asking
