Christina 62 years old
I have had Neuropathy for over five years with no pain relief. I was even prescribed Hydrocodone and that does not help me. It only constipates.

I have a Spinal Cord Stimulator on the left side in my back. No relief. My husband and I have been asking for help with my scs and also, everytime I have to go in for pain medication, my insurance is charged around $350 to $460 per month. That’s after my yearly deductible.

Does anyone have suggestions on what might help or what helps them?

@weinham007 . It can be so maddening trying to get help for our severe pain. Did they ever give you a reason as to why your scs has not given you any relief. I'm assuming that your trial went well enough to justify the permanent implant. Unfortunately, I am hearing of more and more patients having a good trial but no relief from the implant. It is really baffling. I have a pain pump that has not given me any real relief...yet. Still having its output increased. Like the SCS, pain pumps seem to suffer the same problem...good trial but no relief from implant. I wish I could give you(and all those and myself) who have to endure this cursed pain from...who knows? Apparently no one.
