Q: Spinal Cord Stimulator

Wish me luck!! Tomorrow I will have the medtronic trial stimulator installed. If it is as effective as I hope it will be, it should help this constant back and leg pain that I have had for many years. Surgery and many smaller procedures have not improved the situation, so here goes!!!

The initial post was 4 years ago and was for a trial lead placement, not a spinal cord stimulator system placement. Trial leads are usually removed in 5-10 days.
