Has anyone tried the HF10 Spinal Cord Stimulation Device?

I have the Medtronic device, and had a test installation for 10 days to check if it works. Once i had my final device installed, I worked with the Medtronic rep for a few week to find the best adjustment. The rep called me every other day, to see how I goes. They finally developed 3 different settings, that I can switch between, depending how my pain level is.
I have not needed any pain medication for about 2 years now, I just adjust my unit to meet the pain requirements.

To lindes. This is the story every one of us should have. Your picture is the right one, what is wrong with our pictures ? ?
I am happy to hear that Medtronic works for you. Do you have to charge it everyday?

Wow! I also have a Medtronic device but haven't been able to find a setting to control my lumbar back pain. It's been three weeks since my implant. I am so very frustrated! I have to charge the implant every day, which seems unusual. The pain is so acute I can't stand or walk straight up and have to bend forward. Is this a "normal" post-implant story?
