I had an HFX spinal cord stimulator implanted as a trial for dystonia affecting my hamstrings. I have Parkinson’s and have had deep brain stimulation surgery. Although that was after the HFX trial. The HFX unit did nothing. It was a waste of time.
I am unable to sit for more than an hour before needing to get up and stretch.
I take Rytary and see an excellent movement disorder specialist.. I see her about every 6 to 8 weeks for adjustments. After a year and a half, I am still not able to sit.
Anyone else have similar issues?

@coho222 Thank you for your input as well. I am leaning towards not getting the implant.
