Peripheral nerve stimulators
This is a long shot, but I’m looking for people who have used implanted peripheral nerve stimulators (PNS) to control nerve pain. They block the pain signal to the brain. Stimrouter and Stimwave are major brands. These are NOT the same thing as spinal cord stimulators, of which there are many brands. I’m about to have a Stimwave implanted to block intractable pelvic and leg nerve pain.

@lucasmom what did you end up doing? I am trying to see if I move ahead with the implant. Had the trial.
Hi,
I have not had the permanent implant yet. I had the nerve ablations in my lumbar area and they helped alot.
I discovered a gadget called a "Hip Hook"($45 on Amazon), it is amazing, i felt immediate relief and a huge release of tight spasms I never knew I had.
