@maple i honestly am SO glad to have it, it was a long shot that my pain doc had to fight with my insurance to cover, but it does an amazing job of just... covering up one particular damaged nerve's screaming. so instead of pain, there's 80-95% coverage of just kinda... gentle buzzy feeling.
getting an MRI done with one was a little terrifying at the outset but thankfully, it's totally fine lol, the loss of pain relief is the biggest/only problem there.
