Hi, I am Don in Ventura,CA. I am 70 and had scoliosis followed by an additional back injury. For the past 5 years I experienced excruciating right foot nerve pain. It is worse at night. Pain meds made me sick so I went with an SCS by Stimwave. It has been 1 week and I feel a little better but still get pain bursts at night. Has anyone had experience wearing a Stimwave SCS? (good or bad) Thank you!

@donw200 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. We are glad you found us! We are not medical professionals, and cannot diagnose. We are fellow patients, family members, and caregivers who share our experiences and what has worked for us [or not!], offering support and suggestions. How much time was there between your surgery and the onset of the foot nerve pain? Is there a chance there was a complication in the surgery that led to the foot pain? I lived in the Ventura area for 16 years, moving in July 2018! It is a beautiful area.
