I finally got in to see a pain specialist yesterday who wants to try me on a Medtronic Neurostimulator. I've done some research on it and can't seem to find people using it for PN. Has anyone here heard of it being used for that? Has anyone tried it?

Thanks, Koko
A friend of my father had it for PN in hist legs. I talked to him and he was feeling great as it worked well. I was looking into it but it doesn't work for non-length dependent neuropathy.
