HI, My pain dr. is considering implanting the Medtronic Neurostimulation in my spine for PMPS. I was wondering if anyone else has had that done to treat the pain from PMPS I realize it can work for other areas, but I am only interested in tx for PMPS right now.

I am leery of implanting it into my spine and the complications that could occur. I have not had much luck with my surgeries with complications and pain, etc.

I would like to know if anyone tried it and how it went for them, bad and good.
