A good friend of mine got the stimulator put in a few months ago. The first few weeks were good and then slowly but surely his back pain came back and got even worse. When he went back to the place the put it in, he said that at least half of the people in the waiting room were there to discuss having it removed. He had it disabled and his pain has actually improved with it off. he will have it removed in a month. There may be success stories about these things, but I think that once the body adjusts to the stimulation it's back in the same boast as before. Just my opinion.
