Michael Lambert
HFX for PDN patient
Michael used to enjoy camping and wood carving, but he had to stop nearly all activities because he was in so much pain. Several nights a week, he couldn’t sleep at all. That all changed when he found a high-frequency spinal cord stimulation treatment.
Michael had been suffering from agonising pain in his feet and legs for 16 years. It required him to take pain medication three times a day. However, after trying HFX* for his painful diabetic neuropathy, he says: “I felt like my legs were 20 years old again!”
A relief from pain
In September 2021, Michael’s had a HFX trial, which was very successful, “I didn’t even want to take the temporary device off to get the implant because I experienced such relief!” he says. HFX therapy is available on the NHS and the service can be accessed through appropriate GP or secondary care referral. Since having the implant procedure in November 2021, he has experienced nearly 100% relief in his legs, and the pain relief in his feet is at 60%.”

Michael can walk and sleep well again. He can also push his wife in her wheelchair as she undergoes chemotherapy. He no longer has any trouble welcoming his dog onto his lap.
“There’s no sense in living with the pain. I wish I’d heard about it sooner,” says Michael, who would recommend the treatment to anyone.
