Has anyone had the Stimwave spine stimulator installed?

I have read about the Stimware lawsuit. There was also one against Abbot for malfunction of their SCS. Medtronic, I believe also had some legal problems with their SCS.
I have read more cons than pros for SCS and pain pumps which make it difficult to decide on one or the other.

Pita - Would you please provide a link for Abbott's SCS lawsuit, I can't find it? I found a patent infringement (over SCS) which Abbott won. I can find suits for baby formula, St.Jude's (which was filed after Abbott acquired them) defibrillator battery, some diabetic test strips, Depakote, etc. but nothing about their SCS device except the patent infringement. I had a successful trial with Abbott's device and I'm to be scheduled for the implant shortly. I'd like to read everything I can prior so I can make an informed decision. Thank you for any help you can provide me.
