Does that mean that they believe she'll be freed of the constant pain?
No. Sorry, I thought I'd explained what this was for.

A couple of months ago she had a stimulator implanted in her body that tricks the brain into ignoring the pain. Because the source of the pain is nerve damage, this is OK as the pain the body is alterting her to is pain we know about. But the stimulator only handles the chronic pain- not other pains like what you get when you bend over. So it is a partial solution that has allowed her to cut down on her drug intake by about half, which is a good thing.

Unfortunately, the stimulator begain cutting out at random moments, which made it worse to have it than not because she'd just be crusing along and then she'd feel PAIN. Very jolting. So that was the problem they believe they fixed.
