I understand what you're talking about. I had an Abbott SCS inplanted June 2020. I have never gotten any relieve. I only received support from Abbott for a couple months and that was minimal. I did not receive support for almost two years. I finally got a new representative and that was very poor. After five years my battery died. I tried receiving help as soon as I got the message that my generator was going to expire. I reached out to Abbott and the neurosurgeon who inplanted it. The neurosureon referred me to another neurosurgeon, because he told me he very rarely does anymore SCS due to lack of support from the manufactures. Unfortunately I had to have a Watchman device placed in May of this year. I was placed on Plavix, so now I have to wait until after November to have anything done. I now walk around with a dead SCS in my body. Once I am able to get the SCS removed, I am now very concerned about the surgery and the complications post-op. I don't thing the doctors and specially the SCS companies tell the patients the whole truth about SCSs. Thanks for letting me vent.
