I had pain in both my shoulders, but we decided to try StimRouter for my left shoulder, because the pain was really bad.

\"StimRouterStimRouter provides relief for shoulder pain<\/em><\/h3>\n

I first suffered a stroke in 2012 that affected my right side and then a few years later, I had one that affected my left side. Ever since then, my left shoulder has been in horrible pain and I suffer headaches and back pain. I was doing Botox\u00ae, getting injections every two weeks for the pain, as well as constantly taking painkillers.<\/span><\/p>\n

One day, my pain management doctor introduced me to StimRouter. He was very kind in explaining the product to me, but I was scared initially. I even left his clinic saying \u201cno\u201d to the procedure, but then I thought to myself, \u201cTake a chance, you have to try it,\u201d so I turned around and went back in the door and said, \u201cPlease schedule me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I had pain in both my shoulders, but we decided to try StimRouter for my left shoulder, because the pain was really bad. I received my StimRouter implant in August and I was very happy to get it done. At the beginning, when I put it on it was strong but then, after the settings were adjusted, it was perfect!<\/span><\/p>\n

I can move around and exercise my arm without any problem\u2014I cannot complain. Before the procedure, my pain was a 9 or 10, but now my pain has dropped perfectly.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I still take painkillers, but they are for my headaches, back pain and my right shoulder. I have no complaints about my left shoulder. My daughter puts the StimRouter on my arm for me and she said it\u2019s easy\u2014she took pictures when I got home from my initial procedure, so she knows exactly how to put it on.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I have it on, my pain is gone and sometimes I feel a small, comfortable vibration. I usually wear it for 4 to 5 hours, then I have a break for a few hours and only put it back on if my pain goes above a 2. Overall, I would recommend StimRouter to anybody with chronic pain. My doctor and I are even discussing it for my other shoulder. You have to be willing to try. If it helped me, it can help someone else.<\/span><\/p>\n","featured_patient_stories":[{"patient_story":{"ID":488,"post_author":"29","post_date":"2020-07-15 16:25:47","post_date_gmt":"2020-07-15 16:25:47","post_content":"","post_title":"Felicia's Story","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"felicias-story-chronic-wrist-pain","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-27 03:22:29","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-27 10:22:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/stimrouter.pixelsmith.co\/?post_type=patient-story&p=488","menu_order":0,"post_type":"patient-story","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"patient_story":{"ID":485,"post_author":"29","post_date":"2020-07-15 16:25:23","post_date_gmt":"2020-07-15 16:25:23","post_content":"","post_title":"Lucina's Story","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"lucinas-story-chronic-shoulder-pain-following-a-stroke","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-27 03:22:56","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-27 10:22:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/stimrouter.pixelsmith.co\/?post_type=patient-story&p=485","menu_order":0,"post_type":"patient-story","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}}]},"taxonomies":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stimrouter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/patient-story\/648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stimrouter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/patient-story"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stimrouter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/patient-story"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stimrouter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
