Has anyone tried the HF10 Spinal Cord Stimulation Device?

Hi. I am going through severe pain in my legs and up my back. I have tried several medications, with no relief. This pain tend to consume my life. I developed tinnitus along with it. There is no comfortable position for me. I have to sleep on my stomach, and I don't sleep well. I have been to so many doctors and specialists. All they do is give me another pill and no answers. I am presently doing accupuncture. I was interested in the spinal cord stimulator until I read so many negative reviews.

Have you talked to a pain management doctor? I Have been diagnosed with CRPS. My pain has mostly been in the toes where I had two previous surgeries. I had a traditional spinal cord stimulator made by Boston Scientific implanted last year. It only gave me minimal relief. I had it removed on August 2nd. I'm dealing with a new doctor who uses the Abbott DRG SCS which targets the nerves in the spine corresponding to the area of pain. I've talked to three of his prior patients who have recommended him and the DRG. I'm just today scheduled a 7 day trial for April 12th. I will keep you informed.

I certainly can empathize with your situation. I would not throw out the idea of a stimulator . There are many people who they have worked really well for .. they just don’t post on blogs and forums . Medical blogs are well known for attracting the people with poor outcomes. Use the information with a grain of salt and look at the science to make your decision . Ask your specialist ( not the
Company) if you can talk to patient or 2 that had a good outcome .. then you’ll be able to make a better informed decision . You don’t want to miss out on anything that might help .
