@mayran24 - I have my program strength set at 10, but I don't think you can compare across patients or implanted devices since there are so many variables. And you may still be recovering from the implant surgery.

It took me a few sessions with the device rep to get my settings right. He recommended increasing the program strength by only one number at a time and waiting several days to evaluate the impact on pain relief before increasing again. Apparently, many people increase the strength too quickly and overstimulate the nerves, which can cause irritation and more pain.

The other tip I can offer is to check your patient controller app from time to time to confirm nothing has changed. My device kept shutting itself off due to magnetic interference until the device rep disabled the magnet pairing function.
