Is anyone familiar with the HFX Nevro spinal cord stimulator??
I just went through the trial period with the Boston Scientific one. It actually made my legs “tingle” worse than not having the stimulator!! Got a friend who is having the HFX trial starting in a couple of weeks. Am certainly willing to go through another trial if I could find anything to help!!

I have had the Stimwave spinal cord stimulator for 2 months now, for chronic back pain and neuropathy in my feet and legs. It hasn't really helped at all yet. Sometimes it seemed to be making everything worse. A new person took over setting the programs recently. This person has been more attentive to the matter and seems to be really trying to get it right, but so far has caused more pain in my back and set my legs into a flurry of painful activity. So while I was really hoping this would work, it isn't. I am 79 and have had 3 back surgeries to fix herniated disks and fusion for scoliosis. A neurosurgeon suggested the spinal cord stimulator instead of further surgery. It made sense because previous surgeries haven't really helped the pain. But no luck with this one either. I have had many people tell me these things work, so I am wondering if it is the people setting the programs that just don't have the skill to get it right. I know they can work. It worked during the trial. Still hoping someone might get it set right. @pat79
