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.

I totally agree. Do your research. I have a Abbott Lab's Prodigy Proclaim. I chose it because the battery is inside me and will last for ten years. I am 80 and I don't that I will outlive it; and that is why I chose it; I don't want to be charging it every so many hours. God bless you Nuri. brotherchuckles80
