I have a Boston Scientific spinal cord stimulator. I’m currently in to my 9th month with it. I love it. (If you go this route make sure the representative with Boston Scientific is knowledgeable. If the rep gives you “lip service” request a new one.) It takes about 60 days to become effective. You’ll get great results when doing the trial but the actual implant will take longer to get your results. It takes 9 months for the scar tissue to enclose around the wires. I have CRPS in my legs. I was struggling to walk. I’ve been doing water aerobics which has helped me. I can now walk.

I went through an anesthesiologist that specializes in pain management. I use the university of North Carolina. I had been through numerous neurologist and was just not getting anywhere. I ended up calling the Mayo clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, and they suggested that I use the University Of North Carolina. (With Covid and the vaccinations it is difficult to get in with a neurologist so please keep this in mind. It took about 4 months for my appointment…almost everywhere.)

There are numerous spinal cord stimulators. Do your homework. UNC gave me a list of companies that they used for implants and I did my homework on every single one of them. Boston Scientific had the most to offer for me.

I wish you the best of luck.
