Very good comment. I have had two. I would only say that I should have had the trial for the 5 days. The doctor is concerned with infection. That is why she only let me go 3 days.
I had the first one removed, 2007. The second one 2011, I want the battery out. The stimulator failed. No one will remove it unless I get a new stimulator. I have been having issues since 2013. My new pain doctor does not want to mess with it because removal may cause more problems. I finally agreed. If the trail goes will, talk with your rep first. Have a list of questions. Everyone I have talked with about their stimulators say the reps have been great. Mine was. I know my comment is for the person considering getting one. I thought your information was excellent.
