i’m praying for you! Where do they implant it?
nerve pain is the worst. For me it causes muscular problems as well, but the severe pain is unremitting. It makes me feel crazy because I feel sensations when there’s nothing going on, nothing is consistent, it’s worse at night, but then I have a sense of something crawling on my skin, and I can’t tell if I’m drooling or not. Our nerves are really getting on our nerves! Hugs and prayers!

@enmerzergmailcom Thank you! The device is actually placed under your skin just above your hip. That is the controller. The leads are connected to the controller and then they are placed inside the spinal column. The level they are placed at depends on where your pain is. In theory it should be able to affect the pain anywhere below the level where the leads have been placed. It is supposed to block the pain signals before they reach the brain. A lot of people have great success with them, so far I am not one of them!
BTW - I get that same feeling like something is crawling on my legs. Especially at night and in the morning.
