Dear friend thank you for your consultation.I have read your history carefully.it seems that even with the help of stimulator you are not free of pain.I think the back pain you are feeling is because your back muscles are in spasm.so my suggestion will be please go for regular home regimen of physiotherapy like back muscle strengthening exercise.also never bend forward or lift any heavy object.then also bring some change in your lifestyle like make it a point not to sit in a chair or stool for a longtime.I sincerely believe with these methods you will feel better in near future. my best wishes for you.
