Lightbulb my take is this:

If it works for you, and you are not increasing, then what the hay?

It looks to me like your doctor wants $$$ that she will make inserting the
stimulator. These do work, but...the leads come out and shift, and they require maintenance.

I would get another opinion. All of the states are moving toward better pain control for patients. If you are stable on your meds, there really is no indication for an invasive procedure, IMO.
