Thanks again for everyone’s thoughtful input.

I went through a review of spinal cord stimulator. There are a lot of them in my case they wanted a high frequency one (newest model) to aid neuropathy. BUT, I had a MRI of T levels of spine and there wouldn't be enough room for the electrodes. Bummer... Make sure you have a top notch pain doc who will due such detailed review.
