Sounds good. I have been living with this for yrs. I’ve also been on every med meant to treat or relieve the symptoms, no luck. The only thing that made it manageable was 1 800 mg gabapentin and 1 10mg pill of percoet. I’m also a veteran so the va is no help when it comes to pain meds. 2yrs ago I had a hf10 implant again zero results. Now my new pain management person put me on naltrexone and expects me to wait 6 months to see any kind of relief🤬🤬🤬. I understand the Opidiod addiction/crisis. I just feel like every doc now is covering their as& when it comes to pain meds. Sorry if I offended anyone. Just being honest and need to vent.

Hello @brutiss, Welcome to Connect. I know living with the pain from neuropathy is a daily struggle and the pain can sometimes be overwhelming. I'm hoping that you may find something that helps from what other members have shared here on Connect. There is another discussion that you may want to read through to learn what has helped other members who share your symptoms.

You mentioned that the HF10 Spinal Cord Stimulator did not help your pain. Have you thought about other similar devices?

@brutiss right! six months may not seem long if you are on a cruise around the world, but facing pain day in and day out for six months !!!! surely a shorter time frame to find out if a medication is working for PAIN??? J.
