Thanks Jeri. Yes, Linda said that she thinks switching to level 2 which they tell you to do after the first week was too much for her. I wish their little booklet would have explained more about the different settings. Perhaps with more information ahead of time we might have understood better for ourselves which setting would have been right for her. Oh well. I am glad that it has helped you and @bunnyp. Best, Hank

@jesfactsmon I have no idea if this would apply to the device Linda has been trying, but when I was undergoing the trial with a Medtronic spinal cord stimulator, I found the most pain relief with a very, very low setting. When I mentioned this to the Mayo nurse and the Medtronic rep, they said that they have found that the lowest setting that's effective is best, and that they try to tell people not to continue raising the number and expecting more relief. Hope this helps.
