Does anyone have any experience with the NALU brand Peripheral Nerve Stimulator work for chronic pain associated with Degenerative Disc Disease. I've had several fusions...nothing is helping.

I’ve had the Nalu stimulator with two leads for occipital and trigeminal neuralgia. It definitely helps, if only as a pleasant distraction from the headache pain.
Are they also not giving you any pain meds?
I am currently on 50 mcg fentanyl patch plus 3 oxicodone tablets 20 mg per day. I know this is a horrendous
amount of opioid but it's not even enough to make me comfortable......praying this will help. I've heard some can even discontinue the opiods? I wish they would do these types of procedures BEFORE they rx opiods.....but Medicare rather pay for cheap drugs

I’m scheduled for an implant in June. During the trial, it helped me sleep better. After the trial, I’m back to sleeping little and feeling horrible. I have DDD but I’m all fused except for C1-C2 so that solves the DDD problem.
