I have excruciating right calf neuropathic pain associated with the Peroneal Nerve. I am getting the 7 day trial of the Stim Wave at the Pain Clinic at Northwestern Univ in Chicago. The doctor there has done literally hundreds if not thousands of them.
He initially tried three injections, two right into the peroneal nerve, and one in the base of the spine, to try and reduce the pain if only for an hour. This would help him determine if the Stim Wave would be efficacious. Since I did get short pain relief, this is an indicator. So I do the trial starting May 19.
I have tried everything else, gaba, tegretol, CBD oils and creams, chiropractic, acupuncturist, let's see, how many other disciplines have I left out. Right now I am getting about 25% relief from gaba and teg with the addition of 75 mg Amitriptyline. This combo is helping a bit but the Amitrip makes you so dopey it really is not a best way to live a life.
I shall check in after the implant if anyone is interested. Let me know. ken
Hi,depueman, did you try the stimwave? If so, did you get 50% relief from the trial?
