What scs did you have implanted? What does the pain pump ...pump? Did they have to remove the antenna wires between scs devices? or justt replace the battery/generator?

The one I have delivers hydromorphine. I had the original Medtronics battery replaced with a Nevro battery. That, along with the leads and paddle are still in place. So far, the pump is beginning to provide some pain relief. It will likely take 3 to 5 more adjustments to get the right amount set.
