Anyone with spinal cord stimulator?

I'm considering one for neuropathy in my feet. Not diagnosed with MS yet (going to MS clinic on Thursday, yay!). My pain doc said it might be hard to get insurance to cover it for MS related pain. Curious if anyone else has one?

Are u doing this for pain in your feet? I have several friends that have had stimulators for back, spine, and leg problems with terrible results. I had a pain pump put in six years ago for back pain and ms pain. This has been a blessing for me. No more oral drugs. Insurance covers this with recommend by ms doctor and orthopedic doctor. Pain specialists also encoded.🤗

Yes, for neuropathic pain in feet. I plan to at least do the trial version. I'm on 5 different classes of pain meds and my body still wants to reroute the pain!! I'm miserable!

I was on numerous pain meds also. When I would take enough to help the pain I would feel wired and not right. Pain pump does not effect brain function or kidneys and liver. That’s been great 👍🤗

The problem is that opioids don't work well on neuropathic pain

Do you think the pump works better than a patch?

No comparison, the pump is great for me.👍😊
