I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and have exhausted all my options dealing with all the issues that come from AS. I recently had bilateral SI joint fusion which seems successful however did nothing for the clinical nerve pain. I’m now looking at spinal nerve stimulation device, Abbott Proclaim XR is the device my dr has recommended. Anyone out there that has similar issues & experiences?

Is the spinal nerve stimulation device also known as the spinal cord stimulator (SCS)?
I am unaware of a spinal nerve stimulation device, yet I am familiar with Abbott SCS. Are you able to have a trial to see if you are a candidate? The trial could and could not help, as many patients see the benefits of a SCS yet the real stimulator isn't the right tool for them.
Do your research and talk with the representatives, and others who have used it.
