Dealing with Chronic Back Pain: Has Anyone Tried a Spinal Stimulator?

Hey, has anyone else dealing with chronic back pain tried or considered a spinal stimulator? My pain management doctor wants me to do a trial and I’m curious to hear about other’s experiences.

I have one and it hasn't helped me at all. I'm actually in the process of trying to get it removed. I did alot of research on my Facebook groups and it was mixed. Some swore by it some said it did nothing. My aunt had one and it helped for like 10 years. So it's mixed. Do the trail. Worse case it doesn't help and go back to the drawing board. But my advice only get the permanent one it trail helps like 80% or better. Mine was like 50ish.
