Cheryl, I am assuming you areb talking about the spinal cord stimulator (SCS). I have one. Its as intense as you want it to be as you regulate with the technician and have control of it with your remote. Ther is a trial surgery for it before the permanent one is implanted. It is the best way to find out if it works for you & if you can tolerate the stimulation. Iwould not give mine up even though I did not get the pain relief I ws hoping for. I was hoping for the full 50% pain reduction. I didnt get it. But the stimulatot definatley helps take the edge off my pain most days & distracts me from it. If your cousin wants more info I would be happy to aanswer any questions that I can. but the best thing is for her to do the trial surgery & decide for herself. I think its so great that you are trying to help her. You are a lovely person & everyone should be as lucky as to have a cousin like you. Good luck to your cousin & you.
Hugs, Denny
