I am in the process of getting a spinal stimulator for my neck surgery I had to see a psychologist!

Hello, yes it is part of the protocol to see a psychologist or psychiatrist for an evaluation for these implanted devices. The purpose of this is to make sure you have reasonable expectations of the device helping to lower your pain level & that you can handle having a device implanted. I had to undergo testing & then see a psychiatrist before having my pain pump implanted. I've seen a few that thought they could handle having a device implanted only to find out it was an big issue for them, same with not getting the pain relief they expected.

Good luck with your surgery.
