I’ve been where you are now, except never had acupuncture. The Minuteman never helped me either, but it’s still just there. Then, I had the SCS as a last resort - that never helped after 3 years so I had it removed February 2024. It may help you, but do your own research! Keep in mind you’ll have several leads & a real battery inside your body that has to be charged by wearing a belt with a charger every few days & your clothes can’t be under or over the charger.
