Has anyone used SCS for idiopathic peripheral neuropathy

Posted by cax75 @cax75, Nov 3, 2023

NEVRO HRX has been suggested for my idiopathic peripheral neuropathy of my toes - 15 yr. duration. Has anyone tried this or other SCS for non diabetic neuropathy? Have you tried DRG therapy?

I had the Medtronics scs implanted after good success with the trial.
along with meds, it provided decent pain relief for about 3 years. Then it just stopped working.
replaced it with Nevro, which did nothing. Regardlessof which SCS you go with, there will be a fairly non-invasive trial.

Thanks for your feedback. Did you have IPN orDPN or 'just' back issues?

Mostly back issues from a bad fall from skiing. Landed hard on my lower back and buttocks. That was almost 8 years ago.

The doctors have talked about it but decided against it. Due to my balance issues and seizures that are uncontrolled because I am allergic to all seizure meds. The doctors said if I fell it could lodge in the spinal column and cause more problems than it’s worth. So I am not a candidate. I have heard others say it did not work on them. I worked for AA and practically everyone in my department had some form of neuropathy there was 15 of us.
