Spinal Cord Stimulator Input

My chronic neuropathic pain didn’t respond on to a progressive plan of pain management, so I was recommended to try with spinal cord stimulation. I need some input in it. And please tell me, is spinal cord stimulation a treatment option for my chronic pain condition?

I think you should ask your physician if the cause, type, and location of your pain make you a candidate for spinal cord stimulation. Spinal cord stimulation works best for unresolved neuropathic pain in the trunk or limbs. In the context of the chronic pain treatment steps, spinal cord stimulation is an advanced pain treatment. This means that spinal cord stimulation is generally not considered a treatment option until other therapies analgesics, NSAIDs, nerve blocks, have been tried and have failed to control your pain.
