I would love to hear from people who have had a PNS. Looks like the path I am headed to but still have caution. Wondering how much pain goes down, how long it takes to work to its fullest and do you feel anything from the implant. All with the knowledge that every patient is different

@spinrosa64 Please read all my writings on Connect about my DRG implant. Any DRG implant reviews on Connect are from me. My entire journey is here. Essentially, I had it implanted 5 months ago, and it never worked much at all. I shut it off about 3 days ago, because not only did it not help my Neuropathy, but I was beginning to feel the electricity surging in me, and it was painful in itself. It is not an easy surgery, by any means. It took easily 3 months to regain energy and not be in pain where the leads and battery were installed. I have done extensive research regarding these stimulators, and it is my impression that they do not work very well for most people. However, the research seems to claim otherwise. I really do wish you well. I do know they help many people. If you go onto any Nevro HF 10 advertisements, many disgruntled patients make negative comments. There are very few good comments. But the good ones, are very good!!! I wish you the very best of luck. I wanted badly that my machine would help, but it did not. LoriRenee1
