@lasirvent Hi, I also have the DRG stimulator in me and I turned it off months ago. Now it sits inside me, doing nothing. My Pain Doc does not want to have any surgical risk, so he said to just leave it there. The darn thing never worked at all, after a fairly successful trial. I was unfortunate as it even seemed to spread my pain in the last few weeks it was on. Just be careful with your DRG, and perhaps they still can find a better setting for you that helps more? Good luck, Lori

Perhaps it needs to be adjusted again. I had a SCS Boston Scientific about 1 1/2 years ago. I had pretty bad pain in my right foot from 2 prior surgeries. I only got about 25% relief and I didn't like the parathesia. No pain, but I found it annoying. So, a couple of months later I had it removed. No big deal. I heard afterward that Boston Scientific is good for the legs or feet. I works for torso problems. I'm considering Nevro or DRG. You can have your SCS removed, wait a few months and try another trial for a different one. I have been told that Nevro or DRG does not have parathesia. Good luck. You deserve better than 40% relief. The DRG does not need daily charging like Nevro or Boston Scientific (Medtronic).
