Is there a group here for spinal cord stimulator recipients?

That seems to be a common complaint for these SCS's. My trial of the Medtronic unit gave me about 80% pain reduction. The permanent implant gave about 50% pain mitigation. It was still enough to make life more bearable. Until it just stopped working.

Interesting, the same thing happened to me & my brother. The trial went pretty good and when it was permanently implanted it didn’t work as good as the trial. My pain level is about 40% better, I’m extremely disappointed with my doctors and with the Medtronic Rep. Now I have bladder and prostate issues from overstimulation in my opinion.
