Jessica,
I'll be having my 10 day trial on the 23rd and will know more about what pain relief it gives after that. My understanding of the spinal cord stimulator is it is a pain relief mechanism. The doctor inserts two leads into my spinal canal and it connects to an electrical impulse box of some sort. It transmits impulses that intercept the pain signals and provides a warm tingling sensation instead. I am hoping for some relief as most of the narcotics I've tried have been very poor at handling my nerve pain and I'm not able to take neurotin nor lyrica which gives many people relief from nerve pain.

Thanks,
