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.

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?
