Thanks for your response!
I did have a trial with an external device and thought I had gotten some relief, not as much as I had hoped for but enough for me to go ahead with the implant. I have spoken to the nevro consultant several times and have tried different settings. The one I’m currently using acts like a very strong tens unit but it does very little to nothing for the pain/numbness in my feet.
I will be calling the neurosurgeon next week to get the device removed.

Why not just shut the device completely off.

The title of this topic is "Neurostimulator vs. Spinal cord stimulator". I don't see any responses that deal with the topic of comparing two devices. Anyone else out there?
