New Developments in Spinal Stimulation for Pain Management Mar 17 2:48pm | By Markus (Mark) A. Bendel, M.D. (@markusabendelmd)Comment receiving replies
How long ago was that? I had the Boston Scientific one installed 2 1/2 yrs. ago. It significantly reduced the pain in my foot but I couldn't take the parathesia, so I had it removed two months later. . The same representative told me Boston Scientific has a new one out with no parathesia and it doesn't need charging like the old model. I hope he's being truthful!

About the same length of time. My understanding is that removing the stimulator wires may casue some erosion to the spine. Was there any negative affect from you having the stimulator removed?
