After many months at trying different settings , we turned it off . A while later I had new set of wires put in to trial dif spinal levels. By that time my body just didn’t like it and the stim irritated me , so it was turned off. A while later we took it out with a minor surgical procedure . One thing I did was ask the Dr if he/she has any successful patients that I could talk to. That was arranged and it was very helpful and encouraging.

I suffered and my life slipped away again , hasn’t returned yet after 7 years . I had a repeat DRG trial and it failed too …my nerves got irritated to electricity. Just recently tried the NALU PNS….failed too …my nerves just don’t like electricity now. So incredibly frustrating because I get 90% pain relief with a little bit of local anesthetic, and yet I’ve been trying everything for 11 years since it happened. My quality of life is very low …the one thing I really have left is my wife and 2 kids , I live for them . There must a solution out there to turn off a specific peripheral nerve . It would literally save my life because my current lifestyle is going to take me prematurely. I know because I am a physician ..or was before this happened .
