Anyone tried Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pain?

Welcome @ryanrdt, Sorry to hear you have been suffering with the constant pain in your hands. Six years is a long time with out finding something that helps. Does your doctor think the hand pain is due to the damage in spinal cord around the C4? Have you looked into any other treatments or causes for the chronic hand pain?

I have spinal cord damage at the C4/C5 level that causes very bad neuropathy including my hands. Wearing warm gloves with finger holes helps with my hand pain some, by about 2 pain levels. Just a pair of $18 gloves I get off of Amazon.

I have a question about Spinal Cord Stimulation. I think I’ve decided to give it a try and am wondering from others who have tried the implanted devices if they can feel the devices when they are sleeping or doing other things. I’m a side sleeper and this could be a problem for me if it’s easy to feel the device.
