I can tell u I have had mine for 12 years, 10 of which the battery has been dead. Did nothing for knee pain from a replacemt surgery that only made things worse.
Multiple adjustments with reps, but nothing helped. So now, after all this time, was scheduled to get an MRI, only to find since battery is dead, they can’t do MRI since it is unable to go into MRI mode. My pain management physician office has contacted Medtronic, spoke to a rep named Adam who was supposed to get a form filled out for my dr to give to Radiologist. He said Kristen had those forms. He Would get it to Dr. he was also,supposed to,contact me. T hat was 3 days ago and nothing.
This has thrown everything out of whack, so right now my only other option is to have this dam thing removed, which I should have done years ago.
You make the decision about your situation, but know if I had to do it all over again I def would not.
