DRG neuromodulator?

[amozart]

Hi all,

A doctor is recommending I do a trial for a DRG (dorsal root ganglion) neuromodulator for severe pudendal nerve pain. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks so much

Hi.. yes.. I have a DRG stimulator. I had it done in November. I am feeling better yet not perfect. I have a severe nerve injury at S1 level from another surgery so I don't think I will be ever perfect. I would go for a trial and see

Had a DRG spinal stimulater fitted in December. Then permanent battery implant in January. Pleased to say it has given me about 50% reduction in pain. The battery implant is in the front right side opposite the site of pain. I still have sore pain around the battery implant but is getting better and seems to be comfortable.

I also suffered for 5 years of broken​ glass pain from a damaged genitofemoral nerve. At least now I can do a bit more. Hopefully when the battery implant has settled down maybe even more!!

Hope you have the same success if you have it done.

At first I was hoping to have the nerve resectioned until the surgeon said it could make me worse!!!

Hope this helps.
