Hello @newstimwaveuser, Welcome to Connect. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Stimwave Spinal Cord Stimulator. It really helps when other members can learn more about it from personal experience. You mentioned that you have been able to handle your personal situation with the external controls. Do you have any tips or information that you found that has helped you with the external controls?

I have designed and am fine tuning a usable belt to hold the external controls. The one provided appears to have been designed for different controls.
I have located the business card for an alternate representative whom I hope can be more helpful.
I have read every website, from other providers to other clinicians, that I can for info how SCSs are used trying to determine how/when to use mine.
And I have studied and rewritten the user pages in their manual to make it easier to understand. (The user manual reads for the most part like a sales promotion.)
And I did the same with both post surgery sheets which had left my highly intelligent caretaker scratching her head.

None of this should I have had to do.
And if I had had the least problem with pain relief, I would have thrown in the towel but…

As I have stated before the pain relief has been AMAZING.

It is sad such a good product is so poorly (in my circumstance and opinion) marketed.
