I have severe burning pain at the back of my neck ( which then spreads around the rest of my body).
It has been diagnosed as peripheral neuropathy but despite several years' treatment at the NHNN, the cause cannot be found. Symptomatic treatments have not worked.
SCS has been suggested.
Does anyone have experience of SCS and how successful it was?

I have found that working with a physical therapist specializing in neuropathy has helped me alot with learning daily exercises that improve my stamina and endurance-also taking a half pill of Effexor every 12 hours helps as well-I have peripheral neuropathy also_Mike storman

Hello @jeffers613 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Spinal Cord Stimulators for PN are a topic that others have been discussing, so you will notice I have moved your post here for you to join them:
- Peripheral nerve stimulators: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/peripheral-nerve-stimulators/
I'd like to call in member @michelebar who has also recently joined to inquire about others' experiences with nerve stimulators, the Nalu to be specific.
Have you had a second opinion in your course of care so far? If so, I am curious if both opinions have pointed to SCS as the next viable option?
