I too have had an SCS implanted a couple of years ago. I was cautioned about the Nevro in that it tends to use a lot of battery power and that recharging can be a daily routine. I recharge mine about every 5 days. I have not yet found the right program - of which there are countless ones -to alleviate my foot pain. I recently developed back and hip pain so I just had new programs installed for that. In your situation, and I know this easier said than done, since you mention this a few times is to lose weight. This will alleviate the pressure on your joints and should be an overall positive for your health. Good luck going forward!
