This sounds exactly like my experience. I had a terrible herniated disk over 10 years ago. I had spine surgery in May 2015. I have never walked correctly since. I still have pain and take oral pain medication. I also have peripheral neuropathy as well. I take gabapentin daily. Nothing has really helped long term. The medications help to temporarily ease the pain. About 10 months ago, I had a spinal cord stimulator implanted in my back also. The stimulator has helped so-so with my back pain but I really can’t tell any true improvement with my neuropathy. My spinal cord stimulator is an Abbott. All in all, I feel the hassle of recharging makes the whole ordeal of having stimulator more of a hassle than a help. If I had if to do over and know what I do know about my stimulator, I would not have had one implanted.
