I am discussing the possibility or using a spinal stimulator w/ a neurosurgeon. Curious what experiences others have had using this device.

I’ve had two Medtronic stimulators. I have neuropathy, since 2004. The pain is in both legs, up to mid thigh.
They have helped sooo much for my neuropathy. The battery died after three yrs in my first. My back surgeon told me that the electrodes were fine, but the stimulator itself was too close to my spine. He moved it. After two weeks, I had an infection so bad I had to have a pic line put in. Very bad experience.
Since the pandemic, I haven’t had a new one put in. I don’t really want to go through it a third time, but it did help so much.

I have had mine for over a year and it has been a blessing. I couldn't even walk before I got it now do oVer 2 miles a day, pain free!
