Good luck spinrosa, I had the Boston Scientific SCS implanted last year. The trial was terrible. They put globs of tape in the area of the back where the leads get placed. But I went ahead and had the permanent one implanted. My chronic pain is in my toes. It helped maybe for back and hip problems, I got about 10% relief. So, I had it removed on August 2nd. even though the surgeon and the Rep told me the had success with feet, toe problems, I found out that the Boston Scientific SCS is really not for foot pain. It's more known for back and hip problems. I'm considering the Abbott DRG. They claim it can be targeted better and it's more effective for feet problem. I spoke with 3 patients this doctor worked on and they all said they got significant relief and they highly recommend it. Two had chronic foot pain and the other a chronic leg pain from an accident. I think a lot has to do with the skill of the surgeon and if he/she takes their time implanting the leads. Ask the surgeon surgeon if you can talk to a couple of his/her patients that had the same problem that you are experiencing. Good luck
