Hello @markme, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @grannyzoo and @debbie2021. I have no experience with the DRG stimulator but saw your post and wanted to bring members into the discussion who may not have seen your post. @lorirenee1 started several other discussions on same topic and may have some suggestions to share with you. You can read what she has shared in the following discussions:

@vklittle61 @jimhd @fredjan2016 and @katec may also have posted about the DRG stimulator in other discussions and may have some thoughts or information to share with you.

You mentioned you are getting ready for the test phase of the DRG stimulator. Can you share a little more what is involved during the test phase?
