I recommend you first try a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) unit. These can be purchased rather cheaply from Amazon:

AUVON Dual Channel TENS Unit Muscle Stimulator Machine with 20 Modes, 2" and 2"x4" TENS Unit Electrode Pads

If this works for you, it will fine tune your decision on the spine stimulator. Although these units can't specifically target your spine, you will know whether or not you may not even need anything but a TENS unit to feel better. I would place these pads along the base of your spine to see whether or not the electrical stimulation disrupts your pain.

That's a good suggestion. I've had one for many years and it doesn't work. I've cycled through the cheap $49 ones up to the $699 TENS Units. They don't work for me, sadly.

I should've mentioned that and didn't think of it, thanks for the suggestion.
