Spinal cord stimulator support

I had my Evoke closed loop stimulator put in October 2025. During the week trial I was surprised how well it was working. I had a good 80% improvement with it. I was nervous to have something foreign in my back, but with all all my lumbar pretty much all DDD, I really wanted To take the chance. Healing from the surgery wasn’t fun, but not bad either.
The Reps from the company are just a text or call away. They will meet me at the office and help with programming. They are very supportive.
Now besides all the good, I am frustrated at times with new pains here and there. But hey, overall, I am glad I had it done because so far so good. Just not looking forward in 10 years when they have to go back in and change the battery lol.

@clmlam Are you saying that the permanent implant also gave you 89% pain relief? It's not clear from your post. Thanks for sharing.

@clmlam you are lucky to have some success. I had a spinal cord stimulator from Boston Logistics implanted with hopes that it would give me some relief from spinal stenosis, sciatica and degenerative disc disease. They were always there to help me with changing programs. After trying 6 programs, my pain specialist decided to remove it. I am currently on pain meds until something new comes to mind. I have talked to other people that had success with it. You are very lucky.
