Thanks so much for your reply. I'm glad that you've found substantial relief from your Medtronics SCS. I'm at least 7 weeks away from a trial and am starting with Nevro's HF-10. Is the Medtronics Intellis high-frequency or low? The HF-10 is high frequency which appeals to me because I don't think I'd like paresthesia; would prefer no sensation. I've held off on doing an SCS for a long time (10 years) but now I'm eager to do the trial because my pain has gotten substantially worse and it's hard to get my mind off it much at all. Thanks again for sharing your experience and for your support.
