@heisenberg34 I guess I won't know until I go for the trial. I should say that I currently have a Medtronics Bladder Stimulator. I don't feel like Medtronics equipment is well-explained nor functioned at optimal capacity because, as the patient, all I got was a phone with this thing and a little talk. I've now had this stimulator since 2022 and I still can't tell you how to effectively use the Samsung phone that comes with it. So, I'm leery on their products but I think my Pain Specialist only uses Medtronics. I'd have to question if they could use Nevro, as someone posted on my forum. Thanks for the well wishes! What are you doing now for pain control? Did you get the SCS removed since it's malfunctioned?

@ericanelson02 When my Medtronic SCS stopped working, they swapped the battery out for a NEVRO unit. It did not help. Also, they had to use an adapter to hook up the NEVRO to the Medtronic unit. That made it incompatible for an MRI. Eventually I had everything removed. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
