I just completed the trial for the Nalu Peripheral Nerve Stimulator for the excrutiating pain in my
right SI joint and lumbar area and down upper legs. It reducced my pain by more than 50%. I am waiting for the permanent implant now and very much looking forward to the relief I experienced.

I wore the trial for 8 days, usually it's only a couple of days. I am so glad I had the extra time because the first 3 day of the trial were beginning to make me feel like the device was not going to work for me,at one point my pain was even worse and we had to turn the device off overnight to let my back settle down. When we turned it back on and readjusted the releif was awsome. All the numbers, schedules, etc. on the device can be confusing but to give you and idea; the rep had the device set on 35/35 , we finally learned that a setting of 7 is what works for me to reduce the most pain. If I had not stuck through the experimental adjusting, initially I would have declined to have the implant. Glad I didn't.

Also, have youo discussed Ablations? I've had 2 ablations, one in neck and one for left lumbar, both reduced my pain alot...maybe over 80%. The ablations work but the neves growback within a year, then you have another.

@lucasmom I wonder if this is like the Sprint PNS that I am having installed? This will be for 60 days where it is attached to nerve in back. I am nervous about the constant setting and adjusting.
