I had the Boston Scientific SCS with leads (not paddles) surgery 9/2021. I had MANY program revisions & none helped. My pain Dr said to have it taken out by the surgeon. The surgeon removed everything in 2/2024 - outpatient. It was a few days recovery at home. My pain’s no better & no worse, but at least I don’t have to charge something every week that didn’t help! If your surgeon won’t remove it find a dr who will! Too many patients are in the same situation & it makes me question if the SCS ever works for anyone! Be your own health advocate!
