I did research on the different types of SCS and found the Boston Scientific to be the gold standard. Be sure the reviews you read are not written by the manufacturer - there are many out there. My trial dropped my pain level from 8/9 to 5 and the implant should work even better. Mine is relatively new (5.5 weeks) and we are still working on the programs. I was told up front it can take 2-3 months to find the best program. My reps (I have two I can contact) respond to me promptly with all my questions. We can meet in person anytime I request for reprogramming. They want their device to work as much as I do. I am their walking billboard.
Backpain is awful. I have chronic L5 nerve damage (Failed Back Surgery L4-5 fusion) and the pain traveled down my into left thigh - that is now gone. Sitting for over 2 hours is still an issue and we're working on that. I wish you the best.
