Hi, I’m Gayle. I have degenerative disc disease, pudental nerve entrapment, and tailbone pain. I was treated for SIJ pain for years and it does have that pain pattern, but nothing worked. I’ve had severe sitting pain on the left side since 2009. I just went through the Nevro spinal cord stimulator trial and I am thrilled to report that I got a big reduction in pain. I am so excited about it and can hardly wait for the permanent one to be placed! I hope I am not being overly optimistic and of course, I don’t know what the long term effectiveness will be. But I do have a friend in Dallas who has had hers, a Boston Scientific brand, for years. She still loves hers and says she probably could not get out of bed without it. I am really excited to find this site! Gayle

Hi @gaylerenee, It's good to hear that the Nevro SCS trial went well for you and you had a big reduction in pain. I thought you might find several other discussions helpful as well.

Hi Gayle, I'm happy that you got relief from the SCS Nevro on your trial. Can you share with us where your area of pain used to be? Thanks, Marty
