Should I have the Spinal Cord Stimulator? Looking for reviews on this

I guess my first question to you is, did this device provide you with any pain relief during the initial trial?
It sounds like it did and that is why you proceeded with the permanent implant, correct?
The SCS has been recommended to me due to my Lumbar spinal stenosis pain which has not responded to any other form of treatment or therapy. I don't know if a patient has the opportunity to choose which brand of SCS they can have, I will have to ask about that, but if do not get any pain relief during the trial period, I will not move forward to have permanent implant.

Have had Nevro spinal stimulator for about 5 years (not sure.) once pain went away from “failed back syndrome” I tried to forget about it, except for charging. Had spinal fusion L5, S1. Many problems and pain for years until SCS. It has been a life changer. I am completely without pain. They are very receptive to questions and requests for help, along with my Pain Specialist, Dr. Gordon Kuhar, Saratoga, New York.
