@ahayes, how affective is the nerve stimulator for you? Members on Connect have expressed a wide array of results, but some have found stimulators to be very helpful.

@JustinMcClanahan hi justin! Have any connect members had an off label peripheral stimulator (i.e. used an SCS stimulator in another area of the body)? Previous trials worked well with another system that's wasnt inserted in an open approach and wasnt stable/durable enough for me due to limited approaches to the area I needed stim in. I'm still waiting to see how this one works for me, as I am healing from decompression of all nerves in my lower leg. Had the medtronic put in during same case. Thus, nerves are pretty sensitive right now and cannot run stimulator yet. This was all done 4 weeks ago.

yes I have neuropathy in feet some in hands but the feet are getting very bad it been 4 years yes how well nearve bock work are they nume stiff ?

?

I have a Neurostimulator, to me it distracts your mind from the pain.

Nerve stimulators can move around, which seems ridiculous but that is the biggest problem. When you first do a trial, they often place it with a coil and control it from the outside. This moved in my case, so I gave up on it. I don't know how a coil can move, but I see this problem everywhere. It feels great when you first get it, so they do work well. Maybe in the future they will figure out a way to make them more reliable longer term.
