I had my first SCS implanted at age 68 and an updated version just last July at age 74. I am loaded with Degenerative Disc Disease, small fiber neuropathy, and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in both feet and left knee. I consider myself fairly active despite my conditions. If it ever stops raining in the northeast I look forward to gardening. I am doing more in containers than the ground as it is easier on me. My husband has dementia and I care for him at home. My 15 year old granddaughter keeps me on the go when she comes. I will admit to using a power chair in the house simply because of the painful feet. I just had a sural nerve injection to calm down the pain in one foot with another scheduled for my other foot. I am fortunate to have a superior pain management doctor.
