Q: does anyone have anything good to say about the stimulater because that is what im having done .if that dosnt work then its the morphine pump. im scared because im taking high doses of neoratin now.
Hi Virginia, Im so sorry for your accident and pain. Regarding the stimulator. I had the wires connected under my skin on my spine, then I wore the stimulator without the device placed inside, it was taped to me. I wore it for a week, night and day. I didnt get any help from it at all, and I went into it wanting it to be the miracle. After that I was given morphine pills but I realize that this neuropathy is probably forever, and I cant take morphine forever so I dont take it. I have heard of it helping some people. I only know of one man personally who had the stimulator put in. It helped him tremendously for about 6 mo., he is now right back, possibly even worse pain than before. Maybe it will help you, I keep searching too.
