I have had lots of testing for 3 years and that is all they can explain. Meds don't help and there is so many drugs I just don't tolerate that my doctor is recommending the spinal cord stimulator. Has anyone had it implanted for abdominal nerve pain?? Do you think it can work and give me back my life??
