i HAVE AN ans BECAUSE OF NERVE DAMAGE DONE FROM BACK SURGERY. THIS ANS DOES NOT HELP YOU WILL STILL CONTINUE TO TAKE PAIN MEDS. i WANT MINE REMOVED. iT IS CAUSEING ME PAIN UNBEARABLE PAIN, i HAVE 3 SURGERIES JUST TO REPLACE UNITS. i HAVE HAD WIRES RECONNECTED ALREADY AND i AM STILL ON PAIN MEDS. i ADVISE YOU NOT TO DO IT. DOCTORS JUST WANT YOUR MONEY. i CANNOT FIND A DOCTOR WHO WILL REMOVE IT. SORRY TO SAY BUT TRUE. IN MY OPINION
