I talked with 3 people who had a spinal cord stimulator implanted. It was called a DRG and manufactured by Abbott industries. Two had a foot problem and one had a leg problem. One was an RN and she got 95% relief from foot pain. The other two had foot and leg pain. They all got significant pain relief. I did the trial about 5 weeks ago for chronic pain in my toes. It didn't help me but I had a different doctor. . I also have lower back pain that can exacerbate the pain in my toes from two prior surgeries. I now have a stump neuroma and another nerve is aggravated , I think it all comes down to the skill of the doctor. I've been told that SCS spinal cord stimulators are not that effective for back pain.
