I've had an Abbott St Jude spinal cord stimulator since 2021. It was implanted at the advice of the orthopedist to address pain /neuropathy due to arachnoiditis.
Sad to say, it has not provided any relief. I informed the Abbott techs of my problems with it, and after a few adjustments they basically gave up on me. They told me to make strength adjustments periodically, which I have tried, but turning up the strength causes noticeable tingling in my legs ( which you're not supposed to have).
In short, I'm very disappointed with this device. I have no pain or neuropathy relief and added to that I can't receive an MRI.
My advice is to thoroughly research the efficacy of the stimulator before moving forward. In hindsight, I wish I had never proceeded with the implant.
