@julkun I have had the implant since 2007. First scs was a Boston Scientific in 2007 which lasted until 2017 when they replaced the battery. In 2005 I had it removed and had an MRI compatible scs implanted from Medtronics. Boston Scientific also had scs that is mri compat. The doctor steered me to Medtronics from Boston Scientific. Bad choice. The Medtronics is far behind Boston Scientific's first implant even in 2026. It does help my back pain.

@mike2005 I have my spinal cord stimulator through NEVRO HFX.
It is one of the leading companies considered better than Medtronic’s . (I know first hand that Medtronic’s is great for cardiology instruments though, having worked in cardiology.)
See if there is a Pain specialist in your area that uses the Nevro system.
