I had a Nalu stimulator placed in my right leg following a failed knee replacement and chronic pain for four years. I had 100% pain relief during the trial and immediately following the permanent implant. It is now only four months following the implant and I will have one great day then two terrible days with pain at 10/10 just like before implantation. Has anyone else experienced this? What have you done?

Hello @michelebar and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry to read that you are not getting the consistent relief you had likely expected after the trial.

I wanted to bring you into a discussion on nerve stimulators, so you will notice I have moved your post here:
- Peripheral nerve stimulators: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/peripheral-nerve-stimulators/

Members such as @dhc684 @fredjan2016 @sparshall and @carolynbeers have mentioned experiences with the Nalu stimulator so am hoping they can come back to share an update with you.

Were you told during your trial that you may experience slightly less of a result once implanted?
