Has anyone tried a Spinal Stimulator for chronic back pain?

Has anyone had any experience with a Spinal Stimulator? My doctor suggested I do a trial to see if it’ll help with my chronic back pain. If you’re willing to share your experience I’d appreciate it.

My husband has the permanent one and is having it taken out. He has horrible back spasms.he has so much pain now. Has to use a cane. It is different for each person but that’s his experience with the stimulator

Hi, I had a lumbar fusion and unfortunately they just found it out was a failed fusion or pseudo arthritis failed back surgery.. the only option the offered is the spinal cord stimulator. I had vastly different opinions on them from doctors… in my opinion, they cause more harm than risk (but that’s just me—— not a medical professional and not offering medical advice) .. have you tried a TENS machine?
