My boyfriend had the stimulator put in around october 2009. He has tried a lot of avenues to relieve his foot pain. The stimulator did not work for him. He went for around 6 months to get the vibrations to the bottom of his feet. They were never able to get the pulses to reach his feet. The rep said there was really nothing else they could do to help. He had the simulator removed last year so he could get a mri.

My boyfriend said he would not suggest getting one put in. I guess i would say when you are in terrible pain try any thing. However i am not the one who had to go through all the doctor appointmens as well as the two operations

i am not sure if our experience has help you but we wanted to share our story as we are not sure how many people have had the stimulator implanted. We wish you the best of luck no matter what you do.

God bless...
