My PN is idopathic but I suspect the culprit is Agent Oraange that I was exposed to in Southeast Asia.
I had a spinal stimulator implanted in January of this year and within a month or so I began to notice a slight improvement. It hasn't been a game changer that I had hoped for but I wouldn't want to have it removed. If you decide to get one , you should have a trial period to evaluate it. My pain management doctor advised me to NOT have it implanted unless I could feel a marked drop in pain during the trial period. Pain is subjective so I thought that was good advice. I don't regret the implantation as the device has clearly reduced my pain. I hope you have a good trial that gives you the clarity you need.
I’m sorry you are not getting any relief of your pain my toes have been and I still get sharp pain sometimes it hurts so bad it’s a burning sensation but I to am hoping I can find something that works well for me so I can make some suggestions to my PCP and see what we can get going I know she’s going to send me to pain management I don’t like them they always want to give me shots they don’t work and hurt like the bajesus like with my back and hip problems I’m doing no more shots I will suffer till I find something else that works I hope your stimulated work for you keep us up to date if you don’t mind have a great evening ❤️
