Hello again,
The claim is that the different brands operate on different frequencies of stimulation so the implant rep says.
Yes, I had mine removed 3 years ago. I would certainly do the trial!
The least I would do is call Medtronic AND Nevro for an appt for a fresh demonstration of their devices. Don't let them put you off another day !!
Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease😀
GOOD LUCK, and DON'T GIVE IN !!
Get a copy or 2 of your recent MRI, keep 1 and heck yea do some doctor shopping, remember, some docs got C's in med school and some got As !!
Load a copy of your MRI onto your home computer, then find a spine dermatome (map) and compare where your pain is highest and the dermatome will show you where the disc or facet joint Is causing your grief.
My pain control,,,, Opiate pain meds, anti-inflammatory meds, cannabis, and as much PT as I can tolerate. I am blessed to have a very supportive wife that helps me almost constantly.
Fred
