On Tuesday I got a spinal stimulator installed. Right around my mid back area I have a 3" paddle that is connected to a generator that is in my butt. I use a remote programmer to turn it on and adjust the stimulation. No more pain in my left leg! Some pretty cool tech that allows it to work. Even has a remote charger that I wear on my belt to charge it. Dang surgery hurt but getting better.

It is probably way more amazing than i'm thinking and obviously a great relief to you. I just cannot get over that line "a generator in my butt", don't mean to make light of it at all. I just halfway wonder if you could use that as a pickup line.WGU BS:IT Completed June 30th 2012.

"Hey baby, I got a big generator in my pants and it only works for you. Get over here girl." *Barry White Voice* Lol
Seriously though, that's interesting. Has the relief been instant. Are you like a beta tester of the technology? I have never heard of such a thing. I am wondering if I need to get some stock -
Optionsthemagicone Member Posts: 674They've been out for awhile now. The relief is instant when I turn it on. I can control how much relief and where depending on the programing of the unit. If you have chronic pain in a limb from a back injury a spinal stimulator is the way to go.Courses Completed at WGU: JIT2, LYT2, TFT2, SJT2, BFC2, TGT2, FXT2
