Spinal Cord Stimulation for chronic back pain

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.

I have the Nevro for 2 years now. It has releived my lumbar spine and thigh pain. I now have hip issues that are getting confused by the scs. I have outer hip pain in the left. I had outer hip pain on the right. I got injections in both hips. The right is bone on bone, but was relieved by the injection. The left hip has a good space in the joint, but the pain causes the outer pain and send a trigger pain to the knee and then that leg collapses.
What pain is the pain pump targeted to if the Nevro is taking care of the spine pain?
Thanks for your reply. I was really curious if they could use the same wires.
