Does anyone have an opinion about the use of SCS for severe degenerative lower back scoliosis?

Do you know the brand of stimulated they had?
I had a stimulator inserted last December and it is not working. I am having to take more pain pills than I did before the surgery.
Hello @mikedeppen and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I wanted to bring you into an existing discussion on spinal cord stimulators, so you will notice that I have moved your post here:

How long have you been living with scoliosis and was a SCS recommended recently?

My late husband had a Spinal Stimulator inserted in his lower spine and had very good results, as did a good friend of ours. (Sorry, he did not have scoliosis, just degenerative disease.)
