Has anyone tried the HF10 Spinal Cord Stimulation Device?

I am currently in a trial right now with my Dr and the NEVRO HF10 Spinal Cored Stimulator. The leads are placed under the skin and up my spine from my surgical sight L4-L5 to L5-S1 (bilateral 2 level fusion in 2003). The controller is exterior as is wires to the controller. The majority of my back is taped to make sure nothing comes loose. I was also given extension wires when I sleep, so I do not have to keep the controller around my waist (the controller is on Velcro long enough to wrap around your waist.) It takes about 48 hours for the system to start working, and you are not allowed to take a shower (sponge bath only) until the trial is over.

Good luck with that. I'm interested in how you do n why you had it done. I have AA , Adhesive arachnoiditis n at first they thought I would be a candidate but last visit Dr. Is saying he doesn't think it would help? Prayers are with you!

@jujumars Good luck with your trial. Ask the Nevro rep about the battery life! I have a battery that is the generation older than yours will be. A friend and I had the Nevro implanted the same day less than 2 1/2 yr. ago. He already had to replace his battery. Mine takes twice as long, if not more, to charge than it did when first implanted. For example, I charged it about 14 hours ago and just checked it and it's more than half depleted. I fear I'll need surgery in the next year, also. To be fair, he left his in the "on" position after it discharged and didn't use it for more than 4 months (long story). I don't know if not turning it off when he was no longer charging it damaged the battery as opposed to turning it off and then not charging it. Anyway, the battery life is something to ask of the Nevro rep, if you haven't already.
