Hi Glen (@glenjunderwood),
I have read several accounts from other members where they experienced a different level of pain relief from the temporary implant and the permanent implant. I'm tagging a few members like @sbrown293 @martyk @marieh @pusher @scruffy1 @dogsma @chefmike2010 @lifetimepain @jimhd who have experience with spine stimulators, some of whom had the Nevro HF10.

While we wait for others to join in, here's a list of related discussions on Connect that you may wish to review and ask questions to specific members.

Glen, it sounds like you are working with the company representative. How often do they adjust the settings? What options have they suggested?

I have a permanent Nervo HFX stimulator and I am having the same issue
The trial gave me 90 % pain relief but the permanent isn't. My rep keeps having me change settings, but I'm only getting a little relief on lower back. Yesterday she had me change the program to P2 level 6 and now I'm not getting any relief. I do not know how to reprogram it back to P1. Anyone know how I can change it back?
