  • it replaces with vibrations doctor doesnt tell you because he knows that people arent gonna accept it but the pain is exchanged with vibrations.!!!!

  • i need to see you guys dig in that spinal cord

  • Great video. I just had this done after 5 previous back surgeries. I would recommend this to anyone who is sick and tired of having surgery and getting pain meds that stop working

  • how u feeling lately with scs in you im going in soon maybe summer time not sure

  • no. thanks you for the reply

  • As far as the surgery. it took about 3 hours, recovery, approx 3-5 weeks. If they do a laminectomy during surgery you will be very sore. I would ask your doc to allow you to stay in the hospital for in-patient pain management. Have you done the trial stimulator yet?

  • how long did it take im going for it soon im 32 i hit a con edison  line 13800 votls and screwed my nervous system plus i had back surgrey and knee surgrey

  • I am 32 and have a Spinal Cord Stimulator. I have had to have it replaced by another company. However, it does work. It covers the pain with a tingling sensation. I broke cervical and thorasic bones in motorcycle accident. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
