Hi @wilcy, Great news that the permanent stimulator is working for you. You'll notice that I moved your message to this other existing discussion called "Peripheral nerve stimulators."

I think others in this discussion will be interested to here your experience. Is it helping with the neuropathic pain, spinal pain or both?

Hi @wilcy, It sounds like the Medtronic stimulator is really helping with the pain. There are a couple of other discussions in the Chronic Pain group that you might want to join where members are talking about pain stimulators.

Has anyone one tried the HF10 Spinal Cord Stimulation Device?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/hf-10-spinal-cord-stimulation-device-relieves-back-and-leg-pain/

Hi @wilcy I read some of your previous posts. So spinal stenosis caused your neuropathy. Can you describe how you and your doctors decided on the Medtronic brand spinal cord stimulator device? Did you go with the SCS because most of your pain is back pain? Any and all info along these lines would be very interesting to me. It sounds like you are happy with it so far. Are you still experiencing an 80% reduction in your pain level? My wife has PN and we are watching other's experiences with a lot of interest. Anything you'd like to share would be helpful. Thanks so much, Hank

@wilcy Wow, incredible news! Im very happy for your progress.
