Pain pump failure

@julkun So, I had RFA treatments early on for my back pain after steroid injections did not work. They did not help either. Apparently it helps quite a few people. I guess your stimulator has still not given you any relief. There was a gal here on Mayo Connect who said she had to have it tweaked for almost a year before she was able to get any relief. Hope this works for you, amigo.
Unfortunately, my pain pump as still not helped me. But the stories from other pump patients give me hope that if I keep upping the output, I will reach a point where it will help. I hope it's soon as my neuropathy is really ramping up
Have a blessed New Year!

@heisenberg34, we have to keep trying. I think I have multiple nerve issues in my legs and feet. As for RFA, I also have arthritis in the base of my thumb, and I will ask my hand doctor if RFA could help. He doesn't want to operate because he says it's a long recovery. You can't win these days.
Wishing your family a blessed New Year too.
