Let me find out which "chiropractic" practice in Woodstock she went to and will ask again what she said-I don't think she thought they helped at all; but, I will ask
I had the testing for SCS and none of the trials worked at all. What different meds do you take?

I am Med free. I refused Gabapentin because two of my friends were taking it ( for different reasons) They were both experiencing side effects. Groggy, etc. I am limited as to what I can take while at work because our drug policy is so strict- so many medications you cannot take while on duty.
Occasionally I will take 800 mg Ibprofen
I’ve noticed that several people on this site have co-morbidities. This Dx I have for neuropathy is the ONLY medical problem I have. concentrated on ball of foot and toes. At night I have noticed the burning is worse. Finding shoes is a huge problem because my feet are narrow and arches high
I am going to a facility nearby where I live but I’m apprehensive because of what I’ve read about chiropractic offices wanting you to spend $$
I’m really dissatisfied that I wasn’t able to get relief with the Srambler therapy. The RN who did the treatment told me people walk in the door with pain and after a few treatments were improved. All my appointments were in the morning and I was fine, afterwards I’d walk 4 miles and of course after that here comes the tingling, burning and numbness.
I asked her if she thought we should have reversed the treatment doing my appointments in the late afternoon AFTER activity- She was like “ sorry, I don’t know”. When I failed to get the results it was like she lost any interest in my case and took it personal ( that I didn’t get a good result)
I went out on a big limb to go there and I realize it wasn’t a guarantee but I was shocked that she didn’t have any knowledge of alternative resources available. On my last visit she told me that there is a massage technique that their PT does on the cancer patients- She gave me the link ( it’s on U-tube) Of course she sent it via MyChart where I can’t open it so I’ll have to hunt it down. I have an excellent PT here and she can do that or I can teach myself -
Just extremely frustrated not being able to lock down a solution.

My SCS device has replaced growing need for gabapentine.
knocked out 4 pills a day.
Sometimes night breakthru pain but all day I have no intense burning Shoes an issue Wear sandals with socks
Need to charge battery for device once a day if possible Charge takes about 15 min Holds OK for 2 days or 3. Longer need to charge if days skipped. Not all persons get same relief level. Neuro surgeons and Neuro pain clinics can provide details. UPenn neuro pain specialists did extensive pre testing to persons w neuropathy Lidocaine in early evening helps as well. Do gentle foot movement for circulation during day and evening to combat siting too long to keep circulation going .

Yes, that is typical I have been told by a Calmaire technician. You have to return every 5 to 6 months to repeat the treatment. For me it only made my PN worse after 3 days.

That is too bad that you had a bad result from Scrambler Therapy. The treatment should be given for 10 days (weekends off) with the pain getting less and less each day. If you have nerve pain, this therapy should work. Perhaps try a different provider.
