Has anyone had the Stimwave spine stimulator installed?

I had Stimwave SCS (Spinal Cord Stimulator) permanent implant almost two weeks ago and the pain relief is amazing! I had long standing lumbar pain that usually kept me off my feet for more than a few minutes at a time. No more!!

I would highly recommend this device for spinal pain.

They have a different device for pain in other areas of the body (PNS, Peripheral Nerve Stimulator) and I do notice that people confuse the two. Research at their website might help ease the confusion.

I do have a LOT of concern and frustration with Stimwave’s patient instruction, their user support, their User Manual, the depth of (lack of) online information, even their lack of practical solution for using the external controls. So far I have been able to handle my situation and problems on my own. As great as I find the results from my implant, I believe most, and especially anyone experiencing initial problems, would be greatly discouraged and disappointed.
