I am Don, I have extremely painful neuropathy in both feet, painful neuropathy in both knees and a bad back. I have tried about every drug known to man, I currently have a Medtronic Spinal Cord Stimulator, a Medtronic Pain pump filled with Hydromorphone, Fentanyl & Bupivicaine and take up to 4 Hydrocodone pills a day plus others. Pain stays at a level 5 or worse all of the time.

I am scheduled to have my battery replaced in my stimulator soon but I started hearing good things about the Nervo stimulator. Does anyone have any experience with the Nevro?

Hello DBentley,
Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups!

You could ask about the Nervo Stimulator over on the SCS & Pain Pumps subforum

I'll leave the link below to the Neuropathy forum and a couple of others.

Peripheral Neuropathy Forum
PN Tips, Resources, Supplements & Other Treatments subforum
Chronic Pain Forum

I'm sorry you're in so much pain. I'm sure you'll find information and support here from others in the same or similar situation.

take care.

Welcome DBentley.

I'm not clear on generator of your neuropathy ..

I know Grape Seed Extract which is an OPC reduces diabetic issues.

A friend was taking Neurontin for a long time for her feet neuropathy and wanted off it, and did get off it when she started on Grape Seed Ex over 3 yrs ago. She is doing much better since on Grape Seed Ex.

I have a post on the vitamins/supps section on OPC's and personally I'm headed to 20 yrs of taking Grape Seed Extract and Pycnogenol.

One who takes pharma blood thinner cannot take both....one or the other.

Unfortunately there is no one size fits all. I used to pop 3 Vicodins at 3 in the morning, and nothing. Not even tiredness. But take an Advil and can feel change. It's hit or miss for most things, everyone reacts differently. Been diagnosed with PPMS since 2002 and tried many things. Most did not help me. Certain things did.
