Spinal cord stimulation
 
My wife is suffering from severe back and leg pain. This started several years ago, she is now 78. We know there is some fibromyalgia, arthritis and scoliosis involved. She has been to both bone specialists and neurosurgeons. We have tried physical therapy, tens, chiropractor, acupuncture, cortisone, epidural and drugs. They are no longer effective. We are now considering having spine cord stimulation surgery. I would appreciate any information about who to see, or not to see for the procedure and whether the surgery was helpful. Thank you.

I was going to recommend Tens or acupuncture but you mentioned them already. Sorry to hear of her pain. My father suffered with it for the better part of his adult life.
Best wishes to her.
