Chronic back pain can not only be debilitating, but it may become disabling, making it near impossible for individuals to work, play and enjoy life with their loved one. Steroid injections, patches, exercise and hot and cold compresses are some of the treatment modalities of chronic back pain. However, a small subset of individuals do not respond to any of these interventions, making them great candidates for the implantation of a certain device which blocks pain signals from reaching a part of the brain responsible for processing pain. This device is called a spinal cord stimulator, and it has been shown to cause severe complications, some of which may be permanent, causing the patient a lifetime of unimaginable pain as well as send them back and forth to hospitals for additional surgery to fix a possibly permanent problem.
