Hi @jesfactsmon, I'd appreciate knowing what the DRG procedure is all about. And, what does DRG stand for?
thanks

@jamesinsonoma, I think that DRG procedure stands for Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation. Here's more information:

I haven't read much about it, but from the little that I did this is what caught my eye about it:

"Three months after the implant, 70 percent of participants who received DRG stimulation had greater than 80 percent pain relief, compared to 52 percent of the control group who underwent SCS."

The above was from the following website:

I am VERY interested to hear whether @lorirenee1 gets positive results. Go Lori!
