Neuro HF 10 Stimulator
Posted , 4 users are following.
Has anyone had the Neuro 10 implanted ?. It's really difficult to try and figure out because there are so many different types of stimulators. I had fusions that were not successful and the Neurosrgeon at Mayo thought this might be the answer. It is fairly new on the market (2015) so it's difficult finding any reviews. Any info you could provide would really be appreciated. Thank you. Marie

My husband had the Nevro Stimulator put in Novemeber 2015. He had to have the battery moved two months later due to pocket pain at the site. He is still suffering from lower back pain (degenerative disc L5 and L6). He has an appointment with the a chiropractor today to see if they can help with the pain. He is still on pain meds and had an injection last week in his back - still no relief. This device has cost us lots of money out of pocket
My husband said he would have not done it if he knew how it would turn out. The spine doctor he sees says my husband is unique. That his other patients are happy with its results.

Thanks so much for your input, Lisa. it's really difficult to get any reviews on the Neuro HF. I had back surgery (fusions) 2 1/2 years ago and it was a failure. I have had several injections; same results. Im in more pain now then I was before surgery. The Dr wants to do additional surgery. Im not crazy. I'm still on pain pills and they aren't doing a great deal and I m afraid to up them.
Is your husband on Medicare and, if so, did they cover any of the cost? Secondary insurance?
Please keep me posted on how your Husband is doing.
Good luck to you both
Marie

I'm in the same predicament as you are with a failed back fusion after 8 laser surgeries. Have had other surgeries as well so I'm very concerned about scar tissue. I don't even know how they'll get the leads in or be able to place them where they need to be with all of the scar tissue, adhesions and metal in there. The big battery seems to be a big problem for most on this forum. I can't believe they can't make it smaller with the technology today.Let's hope more people reply with positive results.
