How did you get relief with a spinal stimulator? Adjustments?

I had the Nevro trial implanted in March for 5 days. I only got about 25 to 35% pain relief for my lower back and the toes of my right foot. I was expecting at least 50% relief. I did not choose to have the permanent one implanted. About 4 weeks ago I went to a different pain management doctor and tried the Boston Scientific wave runner SCS seven day trial. Unfortunately one of the leads came out and the other lead had moved. Not sure what my next move will be. Perhaps a pain pump trial. Has anyone tried the CALMARE SCRAMBLER therapy for neuropathy /nerve pain?

Calmare Scrambler Therapy seems to be a very effective option for neuropathic pain. Here's an article about it by the provider in New Jersey, Dr. Michael Cooney: https://www.paintreatmentdirectory.com/posts/calmare-therapy-for-neuropathic-pain-relief

I have not yet tried the Calmare, but hear it works wonders. The trick is finding one. Go to calmarett.org. you should be pleased if you have one in your area. Conn and N.J. seem to be very successful. Goon Luck.
