What are the best Stimulations for neuropathy and problems related

Hello @hookedongolf2004, It's good to hear that you recently were approved for neuropathy stimulation therapy and are trying to figure out which type is the best for you. I think there are others here on Connect with experience who may have some suggestions or thoughts on which option is the best. I think most stimulators offer a trial before they actual do an implant to make sure it will provide relief for your pain. There are quite a few discussions on spinal stimulators if you want to scan through them and learn what others have shared. Here's a link to the different discussions - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=stimulators%20for%20neuropathy.
Have you met with your doctor or a pain specialist to discuss your options?

Well I did take a walk through the comments and it was not was I was expecting nor wanting, but the last thing we all need is more pain and more lack of ability to function.
Have you heard about the new Sanexas therapy for neuropathy pain? ? I started the Sanexas treatment for neuropathy pain in January of last year. I have had really good results. I have written a story about my experience and would gladly share it with anyone. Please let me know.

Thank you for checking in. I did just speak with my Orthopedic Doctor’s office and he was ready to make my psychiatrist appt? I had researched this a bit this morning and decided I am too uninformed at this point as to what kind of Doctor should perform it, which company, some negative reviews I have read about all of them, and the risks. So, I am stepping back and taking a deep breathe before heading to the “head” Doctor until I can get some answers we are all experiencing enough pain, problems, and acceleration of the disease that the last thing we need another problem. Medicare just kicked this option on for us and I question which Doctor could have sufficient experience in this situation to help neuropathy. Should it be performed by a Neurosurgeon and not an Orthopedic Doctor? Many questions. Thank you for your note.
