Anyone tried Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic 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.

I had a device in for 5 years and I am a side sleeper. It was for my leg pain and the IPG a was tucked in just above the side of my buttocks / upper hip area . It was never an issue with sleeping on it …it never bothered me at all …when they put the devices in , placing it in soft tissue so it doesn’t bother you is a high priority.
Good luck !
