to quark - I had a Nevro stimulator implanted last October 2020. The trial (which I wore on a belt for a week) work beautifully. I am still in the process of adjusting the implant, but I've already achieved about 50% improvement. Mine is MRI compatible and I have the proper medical proof to board a plane. btw - my implant is for spine i.e. scoliosis, spondyllisthesis, 3 level lumbar fusion, and therIe are 6 screws in there too. I'll try to answer any questions you have.

I'm happy that you got some relief. How often do you have to charge the generator/battery?

Gosh, you sound like me! I’ve had those things done.
I’m contemplating getting the stimulator as nothing is helping my pain any more.
Still up in the air about which one, though I guess it depends on what my doctor uses.
Good luck.
