Anyone tried Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pain?

I love my nevro. I have had it for 6 years and wouldn't complain outside normal wear and tear. It has taken me from barely being able to walk without falling, to being fairly self sufficient.

Hello @dixiedoo2000, Welcome to Connect. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Nevro spinal cord stimulator. That has to be a great feeling having your life and mobility back minus the pain.

Have you had to make any other lifestyle changes due to having the Nevro implant?

I've had Abbott SCS for about 4 years. It is specifically for Siatic nerve pain. After 2 adjustments the pain was gone! For some reason I guess I lost my controller. 12 hours took me back to the liquid fire in my legs. Controller replaced - turned off leg pain like light switch! It works!
