@elsa, great discussion to start. Choosing which spinal cord stimulator can be a challenge. To help you with your research, here's a list of relevant discussions on Connect that you may wish to review:
- Implantable neurostimulator for chronic pain https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/has-anybody-had-an-implantable-neurostimulator-for-chronic-pain/
- Has anyone one tried the HF10 Spinal Cord Stimulation Device?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/hf-10-spinal-cord-stimulation-device-relieves-back-and-leg-pain/
- Spinal cord stimulation: Will Nevro help when Medtronic didn't? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/nevro/
- Has anyone had the Stimwave spine stimulator installed? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/has-anyone-any-had-the-stim-wave-installed/
- T.E.N.S. for spinal stenosis pain https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/t-e-n-s-for-spinal-stenosis-pain/

What criteria are important for your decision making? What ultimately influenced your decision to choose the Wave Writer?

Hello My husband had a laminectomy in his thoracic in 2021 then a laminectomy in 2023 he is still in so much pain his pain is in his legs and feet he just got off of oxycodone because it was destroying him and it did not take the pain away. he is thinking of doing the SCS but we have no idea how to chose one or which is the best he is also very sceptic because we have heard a lot of horror stories. Can you tell me which is the best or which has had the best results and how to chose one. Thank you
