Is Spinal Cord Stimulator Advisable For Damaged Nerve Around The Ribs?
Can a spinal cord stimulator help nerve damage around the ribs, from the stirnum to the spine, from a quad accident several years ago. I am tired of the drugs, I have had the burning of the nerves and the injections in my spine. I still am taking the drugs and the relief from these procedures is minimal.
