Makes no difference. It’s an ABBOTT. It’s been adjusted multiple time.

My spinal cord stimulator was also adjusted multiple times.

Adjustment involved me contacting an ABBOTT rep and describing my symptoms repeatedly after which the rep would tell me which setting to use. I made many calls for assistance in trying to find an effective setting.

Ultimately, I was told to just "keep trying" different settings, never to hear from ABBOTT again.
If it was apparently never going to work for me, I would have appreciated ABBOTT explaining why and what my options were from that point forward, but that didn't happen.

I've read that others have had successful implants, and, there are others, like me, who regret their decision to have the stimulator implanted.
