thank you so much for your reply...I will pass your comment on to my son....Have you had good luck with your implant? How much of a reduction in pain do you feel?

I had the Medtronics SCS implanted in 2018. It worked fairly well along with my meds for about three years. Then it just stopped working. There was some thought that some of the electrodes may have burned out on the paddle.
I just had it removed three weeks ago. Now I can get an MRI to see what’s going on in my back.
Do your due diligence in researching the right SCS. There are a number of different ones out there. Good luck.
