Now 40, my pain management doctor was my second supporting evaluation after injections failed who suggested the neurostimulator and it should help my lumbar area and sciatica down my left leg. They use St. Judes equipment. Glad I found this group prior to my future procedure.

Hi. I have my implant 4 years on the 10th August and I have never looked back. It's a St. Jude's coincidentally and it has given me some of my life back. I too have lower lumbar pain from Failed Back Syndrome plus Sciatic nerve pain running down both legs but mostly my left leg. Without this I couldn't function. It has really improved my life no end. Those dark days are no more for me. I wish you every success and that you get it sorted out real soon. Good luck
Jackie
