Comparison of Spinal Cord Stimulators from Boston Sci., Nevro

I do have an SCS and have had the same 2 surgeries as you. My fusion did resolve my spine slipping, so that's good, but did nothing for my damaged nerve root pain (as the Neurosurgeon told me it probably wouldn't, and he was right!).
My background: I still have the damaged nerve root pain from Lumbar to toes. HOWEVER, the SCS handles my back pain very well - just not the pain down my leg, nor the numbness nor the burning and of course, it cannot affect the weakness - just interrupts pain signals. Nothing really showed up on the last MRI I had, several years ago (Radiologist refuses to do MRI's to eval my brain tumor because I have 2 implants now, so haven't had a brain tumor update in 6 yrs, but it's OK anyway - and I did buy the MRI-Approved version!).
I tried 2 different SCS brands during my trial - and only 1 gave any relief down the back of my leg at all.
Both handled Lumbar constant achiness/pain. I tried Medtronic and Boston - and for me, the Boston was better. However, do be prepared for many weeks of adjustments by Techs before you achieve the best results. Due to programming background, they gave me code to do my own programming, and i was able to adjust it nightly until I got it to be the best it could be. I still do rely upon my SCS and use it 24x7. I also still require Meds for the burning feet and legs (it's like standing in a bon fire - all the time! Not even one breath without severe burning, achiness, and pain...in many years). But now I can walk without assistance! I do carry on a reduced, but mostly normal life. Stenosis is also an issue for me. And I can say, for me, it was worth the time, cost and small discomfort of the surgery. Definitely, even though it doesn't cover everything it was designed to cover and they told me it would cover.

I'll be more than happy to honestly answer any questions you may have. BUT I strongly recommend ONLY go with a Surgeon who's had many, many successful SCS's - as I belong to a few groups and have seen some terrible ones!
I would consider asking a Dr to review MRI results as to the screws, etc. That you do have constant pain that may be caused by them, and you want to know if that's correct - or if it's something else. Also, how lose are the screws? That may matter in the future!
Good luck.

My name is Glen and i have had the Nevro HF10 spinal stimulator implanted since Sept 1, 2021 and the company rep hasn't been able to dial it in on my terrible lower back pain yet. I have complete confidence in this unit because the temporary one that they inserted worked unbelievably well. It's been 6 months and counting with no relief thus far. I'm hoping to reach out and hear from anyone out there about their experiences with this Nevro unit. Please help if you can! Thank You!

I'm new to the site and the conversation. I had my spine stimulator removed just two weeks ago after three years of adjusting and working with my pain management doctor. The trial gave me some relief, so we progressed with the hope to achieve more. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. The stimulator was attempted after having minimal relief from injections and ablations became ineffective. Hopefully the stimulator will work better for others. I had no issues with the device itself. It just didn't work for me.

Appreciate your response and sharing your experience. Am battling in two fronts ……… pain and mobility. Am digressing and it looks like the calvary is not coming. The doctor who is the one who specializes in the spinal stimulator procedure can not seem me for an initial consult for over a month and the neurologist for three months. In the meantime I am digressing daily. By the time I get in to see either specialist I may be back in a wheelchair. Aa they say, it is what it is.
