I might as well get my two cents in here. Talk about disappointed, well, that is me. I am now 85+ and have had back troubles since I was 40. Had all the treatments over the years. Nothing helped for the long term. My latest pain management doctor suggested Abbott SCS. I would try anything to be normal again so I bit. $250,000 plus later and the unit is turned off. I got zero pain relief and all it did was make my legs so weak I could not walk up stairs without grabbing a hand rail and pulling myself up. Oh, I have had 9 different programs, each with several different power settings and zilch pain relief. Once I had a referred pain in my right leg that was so bad I darn near passed out. At least a 8-9 level pain. A man came running up to me thinking I was having an heart attack. He was ann EMT and wanted to help. I told him it was a leg pain. Abbott said I would get 40-50% pain relief when we did the test. (they used some tricky figuring to get those results.) Didn’t happen. All the implant leads have been checked and are in the proper placement. Controller seems to be working. Sure made my legs weak. Took me six months to finally get Abbott to admit that “it could make my legs feel weak”. Didn’t feel weak, they were. 9 months of exercises to get them back. So that is my story. No fairy tale ending here. I am still waiting to run into someone with a SCS that is working for them.
