I understand that a spinal cord stimulator, like most treatments, is not for everyone. Many, like me, will enjoy many years of pain reduction. Please don't tell everyone to avoid this device because you had a bad experience. I am truly sorry for those who have suffered from a failed SCS. Spinal fusion is also a procedure that has a high failure rate. But, many have gotten relief. Unlike a SCS, spinal fusion is not so easily removed.

I completely agree with you. I personally had one that just didn’t work for me. However, my next door neighbor had one that he just swears by. They definitely work for some people. I ended up worth a spinal fusion in 2014 and it has been fantastic for me.
You make an excellent point!
