@steeldove, I hope the spinal cord stimulator works for you if you choose that route. It is a choice we all have to make when faced with the reality that neuropathy has no cure unless of course it's caused by nerve damage or compression that can be fixed by surgery (IMHO). So the doctors/neurologists treat the pain symptoms with drugs that basically tell the brain to ignore the nerve signals coming from the damaged nerves. I may be over simplifying it and it's just my non medical opinion but I haven't found any evidence to change my mind. Because I only have numbness I chose the supplements route to try and provide the cellular nutrition the nerves need to heal and possibly get back to normal. There are a lot of unknowns no matter what choices we make which is why it's really great that we can share patient experiences and learn from each other.

What kind of concerns do you have about having the SCS implanted?
