It is a scarey proposition to use the Boston. I hear you loud and clear. Just crazy to get the stimwave and find out it is doing so little. So do you know what you are going to do? Neuropathy is one awful thing. Sorry to hear about the stimwave. Lori Renee

I would like to know a good CBD pain relieving oil. (Don)

@donw200 I use a very good CBD oil, at a high dose. I buy 2500mg., full spectrum CBD oil, from CBDistillery.com The full spectrum oil contains .03% THC, and in theory is better for pain than the one with no THC. It is just a bit more expensive. I take one dropper full. If the pain is more moderate, I take a half dropper. The company is quite reputable, and award winning. Everything is third party tested. How is your stim router as time passes????? Good luck, Don Lori R.

I am still not sure about re-posting so I am using "reply". I am Don and I have an open question to anyone in-the-know. How can In convince my health insurance company to pay for another (different) SCS ?—-Stimwave did not work for me so now I want to go with Boston Scientific because my B.S. trial worked great! I dont know if they will pay for both of them.

Clicking on "reply" works just fine, @donw200.

Is this something you have discussed with your neurologist – trying out a different wireless pain relief device? If so, what does he or she say about the insurance coverage and whether they would be willing to help you get the coverage?

Yes they are helping me get the B.S. scs. They call it a "revision"— health insurance lingo.

It doesn't sound like it was all that much help, iunfortunately.

@rstollery – do you mean it doesn't sound like the wireless pain relief device was all that much help for @donw200?

Have you also used one? If so, how did it go for you?

yes—info please

Lori, I would very much appreciate learning what brand/type of sublingual CBD is working for your neuropathic foot pain. I have the same symptoms as you describe. Thank you, Terry

My spouse is a 100 disabled veteran sick and tired of pain. It runs our life everyday. But if u are looking for a good oil to put on your joints, it sounds weird but try pure peppermint oil. It really helps and it's cheap. Rub it on your spots and it feels like it goes through the bone and muscle. And heats up and lasts awhile. My husband still has alot of pain but he swears by it. Especially when he adds a heating pad. He has no cartridge in his 4 lower vertebrae and has myofascial trigger point disease all over his upper back going down to his rib cage. I go through peppermint oil like its water that's how much it helps him. Plus my daughter has a 47 degree angle and her spine from scoliosis and it helps her to. I hope it helps. we like to try all natural stuff since we've already tried the invasive pain medicine stuff.

Try pure peppermint oil. It goes right through the bone and muscle. And it naturally heats up.
