Has anyone tried Scrambler Therapy for neuropathy or for pain?

I so totally understand how you feel and I am having the same situation. You are right about Pain Specialists and their spinal cord stimulators-I liked the one I went to alot; but, after trying two different brand of stimulators and neither stopped the pain. he then said it was extremely hard to help anyone with neuropathy and referred me back to my neurologist!!There must be alot of $$$ involved because he was the third pain specialist that wanted to do the stimultors on me. We need to keep in touch to see if either of us finds anything that helps. I just went through the nerve testing yesterday and the Dr that did the testing then said that I had "severe neuropathy"-REALLY??? I have an appointment with the neurologist again next week; but, I am losing faith!

What doctor ( neurologist) are you going to? I have only met Dr. Lazarus twice. He is with Atlanta Neuroscience Institute. All my appointments were with his NP. They specialize in MS, Parkinson’s disease,etc. So I was an outlier as I don’t have any other ailments and I’m not diabetic so idiopathic in both feet is my Dx.
I’ve had 3 EMG’s over the past 10 years, They did a spinal MRI last summer and all was normal.
It’s my only my feet and they are deteriorating,specially the past 2 years.
Yesterday I went to a chiropractor who did Cold Laser Therapy. You don’t get immediate results - its done over several visits - 40.00 a pop, 10 minutes then 5 of icing.
I saw a practice advertisement up in Woodstock ( another chiropractor) that uses red light therapy. So that’s another option.
Re:,Sponal cord implant ..did you have that done ? There is no way I’d agree to that as a way to manage pain. I got a second opinion and he said absolutely not. The risks involved outweigh a potential benefit.
I’m panicking as I return to work next week( I’ve been out on short term disability) My job is hard enough on a body with no problems. It’s 10X worse if you have foot problems as we are on our feet the entire time.
I see myself driving all over Metro Atlanta trying to find relief. I was extremely letdown after this last treatment that failed - I had high hopes.
Keep me posted - I hope between the 2 of us we find some relief.
