Wow Nicole are you certainly have learned all the ins and outs and are a wealth of information.

I was diagnosed in December with sensory Peripheral Neuropathy. I’ve been searching for a diagnosis for about 8 years. I have had trauma to my head and back which required surgery in 2015. Ever since I’ve been suffering with dizziness, instability, weakness in my limbs, difficulty walking numbness in my legs and feet and blurred vision. my back is the primary source of my pain. I will be going to my pain doctor in about two weeks to check into the Abbott proclaim. SCS.

Can you give me some details about that specific procedure and whether or not it works for you. I also would like to know if insurance covers this procedure.

Thank you in advance for the information.

Sandra

I have Peripheral Neuropathy and have a Spinal Cord Stimulater and yes it helps, but it doesn't continue to help. Over time my pain continues to increase and the medicines don't help either. I'm on Lyrica 100 mg 3 times a day, hydrocodone 10/325- 3 times a day. Lyrica just causes me to be sleepy. I'm not able to stand or walk or anything much at all my life is not what I want at 72 years of age. Chronic pain and PN is understandable. Charlie#807
