FIRST, I APOLOGIZE FOR TYPING IN ALL CAPS, I REALIZE IT IS CONSIDERED SHOUTING. I'M BARELY ABLE TO FOCUS ON TYPING, MUCH LESS ON SHIFTING KEYS.

I am getting a Neurostimulator from St. Jude Medical for my pain.

If you have a implanted one please let me know how good it has worked for you. Everyone I have talked to says " I take no pain meds and it stopped 80% of my pain!"
