I had my medtronics scs removed about two months ago. It had worked well for about three years. Then it just stopped working. There was some thought that some of the electrodes on the paddle had shorted out. Mine was implanted at the T9 area. The removal went smoothly, Took about an hour. Healing went well. I am now looking to possibly trial another scs since most of my back pain has returned. Not sure how much more complicated your removal will be. Hopefully, not much. I wish you well.

I have a Saluda (new company) device implanted Jan.'24 - have experienced no relief of chronic back pain even though trial was very successful. Can I have this device removed and another company's put in that might work? Mine was implanted at T11-12.
