“Lennie Underwood suffered from chronic pain for years after falling down the stairs at home and breaking her sacrum, the thick bony structure at the base of the spine that is connected to the pelvis. Her injury was completely disabling, and the pain persisted despite visits to a half-dozen specialists and surgery to remove the broken bone fragments. … Today, she gets relief from an electronic device the size of a stopwatch that neutralizes pain signals at their source. The device, called a neurostimulator, is implanted surgically beneath the skin near her hip. It works by sending low-voltage electrical impulses directly to targeted nerves peripheral to her spinal cord.” (09/04/08)
