Hi Mgrant03 ,
My Neurosurgeon's Registrar suggested a spinal cord stimulator at my last appointment in August this year. It's for my ongoing neuropathy down the back of my left leg & foot following my prolapse in July 2009. I had my L5S1 microdiscectomy in August 2010.

Like you, I've tried Pregabalin, and Amitryptilline, the latter of which worked well but I wasn't allowed to drive whilst taking it. It was also a nightmare coming off it after my op :

They decided to await the outcome of my neck op, hopefully sometime before Christmas.

I'll be interested to find out how you go on with the stimulator and I hope you get some relief soon, it's no joke this nerve pain keep us posted, yeah?
Best wishes,
Tenderfoot x
