How did you get relief with a spinal stimulator? Adjustments?

Glen, I had my Nevro implanted in November 2021 and have experienced the same situation as you have. They have tried multiple programs on me to no avail. I have met with the Nevro reps on multiple occasions to try and find the correct setting to get some relief. Like you, my trial worked wonderfully but with the permanent implant only a very slight relief. I am determined to make this work as I believe it will help bring relief to my legs and lower back. They tell me not to give up or be frustrated as they have so many programs to work with so I will keep at it.

The reps kept saying dont over stimulate. Didnt make sense cause I felt that I was never stimulated. I figure out that there not one setting for all. You have to set a setting for 2 to 3 weeks to give your body time to adjust and for you to feel any improvement. It like the game hot or cold. If the setting not helping you are cold. If it feels better you are getting warm. If level 1 and 5 lites are good for me it might be worst for you. Just keep changing and play the game you get hot before you know it

Thank you very much for responding Slav i really appreciate it! I hope that you will keep me posted on your condition as we both progress toward the Nevro unit starting to work like we know that it can. As for me, I had an appointment with my Dr. and the company Representative on 3/24/22. The Rep. reset my Home controller with a new series of adjustments to make every four days. That was two weeks ago, i'm on program# 2 level 5 at this moment and nothing has worked yet unfortunately . I'm hoping that you will keep me informed of your progress and hope that your Hf10 will start working for you! Thanks Again! Glen
