Tom makes a good point about hurting your back more if you didn't feel the pain. Not sure about that but I notice that when my back doesn't hurt, I dance wayyy tooooo much and the next day I'm crippled.
About the simulator, my ex-husband just had it inserted permanently in his back (lower) by Dr. Oliver at Ocala Neurosurgical Center and it was done at Ocala Reg Med Center. The unit is the St. Jude simulator and he's just starting the treatment process so we don't have any final results if it works or not. The temporary unit he had implanted for about a week worked quite a bit so we're hoping the final unit will be very successful. Remains to be seen yet. At least there is hope. I doubt that he'll be able to do any additional damage because his current pain is so disabling, if he gets 50-60% relief, he'll be happy just to be able to walk around again.
A friend has it inserted for a few months now and he's very happy with his results. The surgeon was the same and the unit was the same as what my ex has.
Good luck, nothing worse than back pain.
If you want any additional information, PM me.
