Neurostimulator implant or Spinal Cord Stimulator

The device implanted 2/23 was too large, creating sciatica, and was removed 7/23 for a smaller unit.
After the many settings programmed, of which you read about, something was amiss, and I knew contacting the neurosurgeon would be the best move. He appears to be a pleasant man, and listens to me well, has been an advocate referring me to other doctors for RLS and scoliosis exams. I look forward to our visit on 12/23/24, and to inquire what his thoughts are.

What is RSL ? If you have scoliosis with a 45dig bend how will the device help ?

You are indeed fortunate to have found someone who actually listens to you and is willing to reach out to his fellow wizards. When I tried that with my pain doc, he told me that he had plenty of experience and did not have to confer with anyone else. Sound familiar? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
