I have been taking a lot of pain meds and still have to lay in bed a lot through out the day. With in a couple of hours I noticed I wasn't feeling any pain. Except menstrual cramps I was feeling that day because I started my period that day. P stem doesn't work on menstrual cramps. Lol. But for the first time years I was able to clean my house, have friends over for easter, walk to the park, and only lay down once for about 20 mins. Not only did it help with pain, I felt like I had more energy and for the first time in years I slept through the night without waking up in pain. I wish I didn't have to take it off after 4 days. I can't wait to do it again so I can slowly see what pain meds I can go off of. I had no side effects and recommend it.
It's good to hear back from you! I was hoping you would be back. This is very interesting to follow. I don't know much about the P-stim. I just have a Medtronic SCS. Not sure if you saw "pstimgirl"'s post, so I included it here. Maybe it will be of encouragement to at least give it a try.

Thank YOU pstimgirl! It's wonderful that you shared your experience and congrats on a successful outcome!

Well, Toni, keep us included! I surely understand your apprehension. I'm sure everyone here will attest to that! It's just good knowing that you're not alone and that there's a group of caring folks here to come to Come share a vent with us if you need to get it off your shoulders! We've all done that!
Best of luck to you!

Caring,
Rae
