No, not two. I had a Medtronics SCS implanted in 2018. It worked well until 2021. It just stopped working. I just had everything removed back in May. Very satisfied with the procedure. I am looking into getting another one. Lots of pros and cons regarding SCSs. My experience was mostly positive, except for its early demise.

Mine developed impedance and had to be replaced. Unfortunately, the wires that were emmeshed in the skin, could not be removed. Therefore the impedance remains and I will not be able to have MRIs done because the MRI mode will not work. If I were to have the MRI done, it would destroy this SCS also. Other than that, my Abbott Prodigy Proclaim keeps on truckin' after three ears and I have 100% pain re;lief in my Lumbar. I still require periodic shot for my Thorax and Cervix. God bless you 1gammin. brotherchuckles80
