@ysphoenix Im evaluating the spinal chord stimulator to see if it eases my foot pain. Ive heard mixed results. My foot pain only happens when I lay down. When I walk Im in heaven. Setting down is middle ground, they feel sunburnt. I know, I know, you dont have to say it. It sux to be me. Ill stop whining now. Please let me know if you've tried the stimulator. Have a rocking day!

@trooperdogg1960 I have tried both the spinal cord stimulator (SCS) and the dorsal root ganglion stimulator (DRG). Both systems require a 5-7 day temporary trial to determine effectiveness. The SCS trial failed so I didn’t pursue it. The DRG appeared successful but the permanent implant failed in part because they could not get a lead to one of the nerve roots. I’m getting it surgically removed this fall. If you have foot symptoms, there is also a device called peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS).
