Anyone had Spinal stimulator removed? Replaced?

I have Lumbar spinal stenosis, and I have posted about whether I should get a SCS. My problem is I am reading many negative reviews on them, in addition there appears to be just a "grocery store" of Spinal cord stimulators out there on the market. So how is a patient supposed to chose which SCS to get?
I have an appointment on 6/30 with the physician to discuss me getting an SCS for my spine pain, but I am not going to proceed if these devices bring on more health problems and additional pain then before I had it placed....

In response to your posting, I have a Boston Scientific SCS following two surgeries resulting in the fusion of my spine from S-1 to T-4. I am 13 weeks post-implant and I am finding that it works for me. I am working with a Pilates instructor and using balls and rollers to loosen the muscles around my spine. It does take work, yet, it seems to be working for me. Hope that helps in your decision.
