It sounds like it worked well for you for several years of enjoyment-free from pain-am I correct?
I am going to be 82 this year (but was very active until this started!! golf, walking, etc)but; point being-if I could be pain free for a few years-will go for it. Got alot of living still to do!!

It is an adjunct therapy like PT, chiropractics, ets. Not pain free but helps quite a bit. Most areMRI compatible now but Boston Scientific is a leading well known company that is first in its field in many respects. The settings are figured out with a person they pair you with that meets you at Drs.appts usually. You can get help on the phone, also. It only goes to about waist level or below. There are many different settings but your rep will help you figure out which are best for you with you. When I got my SCS Boston Scientific was the only one that was MRI compatible which was very important due to my other Illnesses
