Hi there Vanityfaire,
Most doctors don't want to do a spinal stimulator placement until all other medications fail to work.
I have spoke to many people that say that the spinal stimulators are really good.
These are helpful websites about spinal cord stimulators:

Sorry that I can't help you further
Take care
Love
Alison
