I'm glad you are having success with your Nevro. I had the surgery last December 2024. This is for my Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in my foot. Recently, I have had increased pain and sensitivity where the battery pack is. Has anyone experienced this? I shut down the SCS to have a break. I was getting overstimulated.

@rebeccaherdina I had the NEVRO battery implanted to replace my old Medtronic unit. I just remember it sticking out on my left side almost like a hockey puck. I finally had everything removed as it did not provide any help.

The area in my L lower back where my SCS implant is can get mildly sore depending on my positions. You can easily feel it under my skin. I was told this was not unheard in people who are thinner because we have little body fat for padding around it.
