I have had neuropathy since age 35. I am now 71. I think that it resulted from a severe Lyme infection. I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Neuropathy. Early on, it led to foot injuries, IV ANTIBIOTICS and several surgeries. Both feet are completely numb.

I saw a chiropractor who charged a lot of money basically used a ten’s machine and a foot soak. No benefit. I now have a spinal stimulator that has provided significant benefit . My left has been treated and expect to have the right foot protected. I frequently experience throbbing pain in fourth toe on Right foot. I am now using MJ. This is the only thing that works.

Welcome @donaldcohen, Thanks for sharing your experience with a spinal stimulator. It's good to hear that it has provided significant pain relief for you. There are quite a few discussions and posts on spinal stimulators if you want to connect with others using the devices - here is a search results link that lists the discussions and comments: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=spinal+stimulator.

Do you mind sharing what type of spinal cord stimulator you have and how long you've had it?

sorry-am on too many Tramadol I guess- what is MJ?
