Peripheral Neuropathy - Anyone else?

I have tried the spinal stimulator. As far as working, it did as promised, except I was under the impression the battery would last much longer than it did. Mine lasted a little over 2 years. When it was replaced, and the stimulator moved just a little because it turned out to be too close to my spine, it became infected. I had to be rushed to the hospital, and it was a mess after that. That was right before the Covid came out . Days before!
I have since been taking Lyrica. I am very pleased with it.

That sounded horrible, and I'll tell the pain specialist what happened to you. I didn't even think about infection with the stimulator - may rethink it now.

Glad to hear Lyrica is working for you.

I would like to talk to you more as I am very close to having one put in
How do they replace the battery and which brand did you go with?
