Has anyone had the Stimwave spine stimulator installed?

I had a Neuro Stimulator, made by Abbot put in on Nov 5th, after finding success in the 5 day trial...so they implanted the stimulator box beneath my skin in upper buttock.
It is for my horrible spine, having had many needed surgeries & lots of pain !! I am so happy with it, truthfully & I am a retired RN.
I can only have a myelogram with scan,, not MRI on back, however an MRI can b done on other parts of body !! It just causes too much heat, too long on the lumbar MRI.

I am glad you found relief! My Medtronics one has been a blessing! I can have an MRI, I just have to turn off a mode in the transmitter.
