Does SCS help with numbness and tingling?

Hi Mike, I don't feel anything, in the way of electric shocks. However, when I was doing the trial I did have a time when I felt the electricity like holding an electric fence. I turned it off. I think the lead migrated. Nevro implant has a outside charging plate you place on the device and charge through the skin. It needs to be charged every day. I don't mind it. I keep a clock timer on to see how long it takes to charge. I take about 15 min. Twice a day. I have the device implant in my lower right back as I usually sleep on my left side. I'm at stage 3 neuropathy, which is constant fire and pain. This device kind of numbs the burning. I was using 2 canes to walk. I find it better to keep myself from falling down. I have not fallen. I wear a magnetic bracelet bought from Amazon for the purpose of me not falling. It may be an " only in your mind " but so far it has worked for me, so I wear it.

Sounds like you are having some success with making your pain more bearable. I'm glad the Nervo works for you. And better to walk with two canes than to fall and break something. Could you please share the name of the magnetic bracelet for balance? Best wishes! Mike
