Neurostimulator implant or Spinal Cord Stimulator

Can you tell me if you had any problems convincing the doctors that you wanted to remove the device? I have had the nerve HFX stimulator for over a year with very little help and am considering having it removed. Many of the electrical devices will not work while the stimulator is in your body.
Also, how long was the recovery from the device removal?

I had no difficulty in getting approval for the removal. The surgery went very well, and I was back to normal in about a month. I probably might have asked for a trial of another one then instead of waiting.
How well did your trial go?
Sorry you haven’t gotten any relief. This medical stuff can be a real coin toss.
