@samcphie, how frustrating and disappointing that the replacement stimulator is not working like the original did.

Fellow members @jimhd @tiredpup1 @martyk @barbbie @patrick17 @scruffy1 may also be able to share their experience with spinal cord stimulators, specifically how to find objective expert in SCS to get guidance on choosing the best device for you.

Sam, what is your next step? Will you have the replacement removed and go back to the original manufacturer?
