I also have Osteoporosis, but they never suggested a bone growth stimulator for me. I went to the heads of Neurorsurgery at two LARGE hospitals, and they BOTH told me because of my osteoporosis, I could NOT have any further surgery, and neither of the surgeons would even TOUCH me. So my only option now is pain medications.
