Has anyone implanted electro stimulation to alleviate neuropathy pain?

@blowerk1216 THANKS for reaching out to me! I have only numbness in my feet no pain and that's good! Have you been to see a Doctor that treats Neuropathy?? I' m in Mountain Home so not that far from you. I started with Central Arkansas Advanced nerve and joint center in Conway. I was going there every week and at first 2 times a week, got to be too long a trip so I now go to a Spine center here they do the Lazer treatment on my feet also. I'm still a patient there, but only go for check ups every 90 days!!! Keep in touch!!!!

@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

Sounds like you are getting the trial. The top rated SCS is Boston Scientific’s Wave writer (rider?). They will carefully insert the lead(s) into the intrathecal space. Then the lead will get connected to an external battery pack. The goal is to get at least 50% pain reduction. I guess you’ll wear it for a couple of days. Just be careful to not bend very much. No reaching up over your head. You don’t want to move that lead in your back. Make sure you are getting the pain relief you want. Not likely to get 100% relit. I went from about a 7 to about a 2/3.
Wish you well.

@heisenberg34 thanks for that, however it would appear that they may do a steroid injection, anyone had that?

@blowerk1216 No steroid injection for a spinal cord stimulator

@heisenberg34 the steroid injections would be instead of SCS has anyone had this type of injection?

@blowerk1216 I got it. I've had all kinds of injections. Most recently something called caudal steroid injections. None of the helped for any length of time. My very first ones back in 2016 gave me decent relief for about two weeks. The second set lasted about three days. Nothing since. Only my pain pump trial by injection dropped my pain from about an eight down to a two.
