Bilateral Neuropathy in my legs and arms. I have a Nevro implant that stopped functioning. Now I require opioids to managing my pain.

I am a disabled Vietnam veteran; it is documented that I was exposed to agent orange. The VA is taking great care of me. I wouldn't trade their service for any other. My implant was installed in late February 2021, worked great for nine months. It is now turned off. I have worked with the vendor reps; I believe they did their level best. The consensus from the Nevro representatives is over stimulation.

My only option today is opioids to control my pain. My pain is all-encompassing where I can only reduce the condition. The non-VA medical profession will chastise me at every opportunity. Clearly, they have never been in pain that is relentless.
