I had no difficulty in getting approval for the removal. The surgery went very well, and I was back to normal in about a month. I probably might have asked for a trial of another one then instead of waiting.
How well did your trial go?
Sorry you haven’t gotten any relief. This medical stuff can be a real coin toss.

Thanks for your response!
I did have a trial with an external device and thought I had gotten some relief, not as much as I had hoped for but enough for me to go ahead with the implant. I have spoken to the nevro consultant several times and have tried different settings. The one I’m currently using acts like a very strong tens unit but it does very little to nothing for the pain/numbness in my feet.
I will be calling the neurosurgeon next week to get the device removed.
