Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Joyce, yes I have heard of it and have all the info on it here at home, my husband had 2 failed back surgeries l4,l5,s1. He only had back pain before surgery now he has severe leg pain. But we have a big set back, You see you have to have the trial implant done first, then you get the permanent one if it works after 7-10 day trial, well Medicare will not pay for the temporary which is needed first, but they will pay for the permanent one. So how dumb is that..You may have different insurance that will pay for the temporary one first. I hope this answered your questions..If you have more let me know...SandySharon Wertz <sbwertz@...> wrote: > On this website there is something called a " Pain Pacemaker.> Has anyone heard of this before...........Joyce M.Here is a link to an articlehttp://my.webmd.com/content/article/71/81229__________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kept him going, in the Air Force and out of most of the pain. He let me hold it and it just felt tingling or like a huuummmm was going through my two arms.
