Should I have the Spinal Cord Stimulator? Looking for reviews on this

I have never heard of any of the SCS working long term despite the companies claims. My wife got about 2 years on hers before she got no benefits anymore.
When they do the trials tey jack the thing up as high as they can go to be able get results in the 7 days, but it is not a sustainable level long term.
I have always believed that your body gets used to it and finds ways to couneract it. Pain is a bodies natural reaction so its just trying to do its job.
Just my common man's opinion.
The biggest winner in these things are all the Mfgs, reps & Dr.'s at 50K a pop.

@jlssurplus The trials although painful always seem to work way better than the final implant. I too believe that regardless the therapy, Spinal nerve ablation, SCS, injections, pain meds all have a way of losing efficacy. During the time when my condition was in remission, I was a gym rat for 10 years .... it got me farther than any other therapy combined although at a certain point that is no longer a viable option like so many others.
