I had the ABBOTT DRG spinal cord stimulator implanted about 3 years ago for toe and ball of feet throbbing from Neuropathy in both feet. It never worked at all. In fact, the last few weeks I had it on, the pain spread to my legs and glutes. I had electrical sensations throughout the legs, feet, and glutes. It was frightening and horribly painful. My DRG leads and battery are still in me, but turned off. All in all, a horrific experience. I reported the device to the FDA.
