Spinal cord stimulation: Will Nevro help when Medtronic didn't?

Tried Nevro and it worked in trial phase outside my body. Then it was inserted too deep and did not charge with the silly paddles they give you to charge the battery. Then it was reinserted closer to my skin and hit all the nerves going down my back and leg; I could barely walk. I gave up and had the final of three surgeries and rebuild of screws and cables from S1 to T11. That was April 28 and I still hurt. At my age they say 9-12 months. BUT, the sciatica is gone and I am just waiting on the major procedure to heal up.

What is Nevro? I currently have Metronic’s stimulator and pump. I was injured as a police officer and fused from s1 to T12 (or T11). I have had the implanted stimulator for three months, I hate the charging every day and still have not received more than 30% pain relief. The goal was to remove the drug pump do to lung issues; however I still need to Boost daily. I don’t want them to remove the pump yet as the stimulator is not that effective.
