Has anyone tried the HF10 Spinal Cord Stimulation Device?

I have had the implant device only for spinal pain. My experience unfortunately was aweful. It caused my right leg to feel as heavy as a tree trunk & I had “zips” of excruciating pain when that happened. Down my legs, one arm & shoulder. I let them continue to adjust things on their side for 3 weeks. They had implanted mine because after the trial I told them I really couldn’t tell a difference! After the third week of sleepless nights, people staring because I couldn’t make my right leg work correctly & had to drag it around, on top of way more pain than I started with; I asked that they be removed! Apparently that’s not too uncommon according to the anesthesiologist I had. Good luck hon with whatever your decision is! Everyone’s body is different; you may have a wonderful experience… you kind of have to go with your gut on this one. My advice as an RN… “If your pain is manageable with your current treatment; leave well enough alone!” But if your pain has been relentless & nothing you’ve tried has given you relief, “then by all means try something different!” Best of luck! Peace & Joy!!🫶🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼

Hi thanks for your post. I can manage but I only sleep about 3 or 4 hours a night. My calf muscles throb all night and I have bad cramps. The Dr offered the Nevro HF 10 or Boston Scientific. I have to do the test. Looking for feedback on the two devices. Thanks
