@heisenberg34 I had a rechargeable battery put in last year, but it didn't help. Just another surgery, and it's a bit of a nuisance keeping it charged every few weeks. My scs is an Abbott.
I saw a foot and ankle specialist today who's ordered orthotic inserts. They're more for my gait that was messed up after bilateral Achilles tendon ruptures, but maybe they'll help with the PN. He also did a shockwave treatment to see if it helps with the pain. We shall see. It's still experimental, and usually very expensive, but he isn't charging me for it because he's doing it as much for his own interest as anything.

@jimhd Have adhesive Arachnoiditis, long time & it's extremely awful I have severe pain from top of my neck down my entire spinal cord. I am fused from C3 thru my sacrum. I seem to be resistant to oxycodone. I get 10 MG every 6 hours. It really has MINIMAL affect. It's progressive & has destroyed last 26 plus years. Was completely paralyzed & I have total numbness & severe paresthesia down both legs ( from knee to toes) Also, now have bowel Incontinence ( as many as 7 to 8 times a day. My kidneys are poor & i am now broke & on Medicare & Medicaid. Had an RN BS & also masters in Health Care Administration Any suggestions on Bowel, severe constipation?? alternating with incontinence ? Plus I'm stuck , sometimes, having multiple Accidents & my fused spine, makes anything to do with this, a nightmare. I've got Relistor (for opioid induced constipation. Take MiraLAX & drink tons of water & etc... Because of adhesive Arachnoiditis, nothing works.. My fusion, makes it very hard, but i use enemas too I had wanted to do trial of pain pump. But i have severe rotator cuff issues, need a new shoulder etc... Any advice for relief constipation? Have tried lot's OTC
