I had my Nevro HFX iQ spinal cord stimulator implanted December 31 st 2025. I'm doing very well. No problems whatsoever. I have an iPhone so I can do my daily assessments through their app which the support downloaded into my phone during recovery.
I charge my plant twice a week. Takes between 15 and 30 minutes. My follow up care is awesome as well as knowing I have 24/7 phone support with a trained tech.
I will admit that the surgery for me was painful for the first month post op. But I have no regrets. Get yourself an eggcrate foam back cushion they use them as cushioning for wheelchair patients. I just bought a black pillow case for it and pinned the excess closed. Grabbers to pick up things either on your person (pants) or other items. NO bending for 8 weeks post op. You want your leads to have time to set in and not move while you are healing.
Best wishes and don't be afraid to ask the support team and doctor's staff questions.

My husband switched out his Medtronic stimulator for the Nervo and is doing great with it. It has given him his life back. The Medtronic was awful and didn’t work properly. Perhaps because the remote they had given him was over 5 yrs old!
