    >>My father has just had the ANS spinal stimulater imlpanted
    yesterday and has already described that the implant is already
    working in some sense but is still to early to tell. After a
    horrible expeirience with the temporary device we are hoping the
    procedure will be a success. My question is all the pain and agony
    that comes along with this device necessary? My father does not
    have some little back pain or small injury, he is using the device
    for an amputation as a last resort to cure 6 years of nothing but
    torture.
