HFX Spinal Cord Stimulators

[@bigbadjohnpesek9894]

God i hope this works. Im having this done next week. The pain is unbearable. I cant stand upright. Cant think straight and cant sleep at night.

[@bigbadjohnpesek9894]

Well its in. But I started messing with the settings and got it all screwed up. Last night my wife saw me messing with the settings. She took the remote and i don't know what she did but I woke up pain free. The first time in a long time.

I had this stimulator implanted on january 22 2024 I'm very happy with the results.

[@DrEdwardSRubin]

Great to hear

I am having the trial procedure of this Nevro device on Monday August 5th, I am a candidate in a Nevro research study for my Neuropathy in my feet, so am mostly excited about having this trial procedure done.

[@AlfredJacobs-tr6ul]

This video was very helpful since I will be having a test done on Monday. I guess I don’t be listening totally to my physician when I’m in the office. I ready for my life back. Thanks!

[@randywiley66]

Thanks doctor

I have been taking pregabalin and baclofen daily for well over a year. Still have nerve pain in right foot backs of my legs and lower back. To the point I can not walk in the grocery store. Foot just herts. I was very active and now I am limitted.

[@DrEdwardSRubin]

See if your doctor agrees with a stimulator trial

Я шейник с-7 анотомический обрыв спинного мозга, можно ли нам делать токие операции? Что вы знаете о докторах Грегуар Кутин и Жозлин Блох? Моей травме 10-лет, если можно то где делают? И сколько стоит? Ответьте пожалуйста.

[@victoriapless5036]

Can this work for upper back pain also?

[@femf8tal]

I’m having the implant 8-28-24 If anyone has it how long did it take to get off high dose pain medications?

[@stevesauck7001]

I’ve had a scs and all the stimulation went down my legs. I had it taken out during scoliosis surgery. The current pain Dr. I have said my pain is coming from the Superior Bilateral Cluneal nerves. I had a nerve block injection there and I had a great weekend with minimal pain. Would this cover the peripheral nerves?

[@DrEdwardSRubin]

Peripheral nerve stimulator along the top of the hip will cover superior cluneal nerves better. I like SPRINT for these.

[@bigpappa642]

I had my Nevro implanted 11 months ago as a replacement for a St. Jude device that quit working. Now after 11 months this Nevro device is no longer offering any relief what so ever. When I had the Nevro implanted as a replacement. The Dr kept the electrodes that where already in place, instead he used the Nevro adapter to connect to the battery unit. I don't know why at this point my device is not working anymore, could you offer any explanation or guess if WHY???

[@stevesauck7001]

That’s sucks, I hope you get it straightened out.

[@DrEdwardSRubin]

Hopefully they got X-rays to make sure it’s still in correct position.

[@bballer191]

Any update on this? What happened or why it stopped working?

[@johnsanheim6287]

I have severe spinal stenosis which precludes me from walking any distance. I go a couple blocks, and I get pain usually middle of back like someone is putting a fist in my back. Would this work for stenosis? Steroid shots not working anymore. Can only take limited anti-inflammatory meds because they were affecting my kidneys. Also, I listened to a gentleman who had a high frequency model, and he said he didn't have the tingling sensation like you get in a low frequency one. Is that true with this model at high frequency?

[@DrEdwardSRubin]

High frequency stimulation does not produce tingling. So you feel nothing, just pain relief. I usually would try the MILD procedure first for the stenosis before I went to spinal cord stim

[@debbienorton1487]

Would this treatment be effective for Diabetic nerve pain affecting the upper arms and shoulders

[@DrEdwardSRubin]

Spinal cord stimulators can be implanted in the neck to cover the arms. Not everybody does neck stimulators, though. You would need to find someone who does them.

[@vladius8521]

Would it work on a severe ankle issue?

[@DrEdwardSRubin]

Yes. Ankle pain could be covered by spinal cord stim. Insurance many not cover for ankle pain per se, but “neuropathy in foot and ankle” or “complex regional pain syndrome” would be covered diagnoses

[@perronej3]

I have a medtroinc pacemaker. Can I get an HFX stimulator for upper back and neck pain

[@DrEdwardSRubin]

I would get clearance from cardiology to make sure you are not pacer dependent. If not pacer dependent it can be done, but not every doc will feel comfortable doing it

[@bellaluna2220]

$150,000 fantasy they sell you.

[@bigbadjohnpesek9894]

Well that fantasy is working for me.
