My Pain Management Physician gave me a brochure on the NEVRO HFX SCS and I wanted to know if anyone has used this model and whether or not you have had success with it. Thanks

I am in so much pain I would like to try one. Surgery, probably a small handful coming up. How do I find a unit, the best one, and become a patient? I am in central Florida currently, and it is my lumbar region that needs the help. Thank you guys!! I'm not happy anybody is hurting, but it certainly is great to share with those who know < 3

My husband has had his Nevro device implant for about 10 yrs. ago. Results mixed. He lost a lot of function during the recovery period, 3 months, whereby the scar tissue heals and locks the device in place. We neglected to ask how long it would take, so we recommend that anyone considering this definitely ask that question. It was in the summer when he would have been active with yard work and but he lost all that time being inactive. We feel that he gained back the functioning that he lost while recovering, so no net gain, but he now depends on the device to maintain that that functioning. We faithfully recharge the device every morning, not complicated. The techs are very good at getting back to us whenever we call with questions over the years. Unsure whether we'd recommend it.

I use TENS unit w electrodes and they just work fine as NEVRO HFX unit for less price from Amazon.
Hope this helps you.

I had it for about 3 months or so; no effect for me. My surgeon removed it during my L4/5 surgery.
