It is a difficult decision to make. My Pain Specialist Doctor kept after me to try this. For me, it didn't touch anywhere below the knees. I am not sure how well this works for PN since there is so little mentioned as a recommendation for PN.
The trial was more than I anticipated; but the rods & screws may have made getting the leads in the right area more dificult. My doctor still wants me to give it another try; but even if the trial was to help; my concern now is whether the implant surgery might add to what is already almost unbearable 24/7 pain.
