I saw a TV program recently where Jerry was being interviewed.  He described how his many pratfalls had injured his back and now he uses a pain pacemaker to be virtually trouble-free.  That's all I know about it.  God bless

It's a mechanical pump that is surgically put in your back to dispense morphine, I believe.

There is also a spinal nerve spimulator. It is also an implant that has a small battery attached that sends electrical signals that block pain. This is the similar principle to TENS (transcutaneous eletrical nerve stimulation) which has pads applied to the skin except this other method the eletrodes are implanted under the skin.
