Hi @bettyg81pain. I moved your discussion and combined it with an existing discussion titled:
- Anyone tried spinal cord stimulation for pain? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/spinal-cord-stimulation-2

I did this so you could reconnect with members @pks3799, @jager5210, @mmata and update them on your journey.

Looking at the diagrams on Nalu's website, one big difference appears to be where the devices are planted. The peripheral nerve stimulator looks as though it is placed higher up near the shoulder whereas the spinal cord stimulator is low lumbar. Their website is a little vague, but they may target different areas based on where they are placed, but this is something you'd want to discuss with a medical provider to get the best possible answer.

@bettyg81pain - you had mentioned earlier that you were getting a stimulator back in June, has there been a change in plans for you? Has the peripheral nerve stimulator been brought up as an option vs the spinal cord stimulator?
