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.

I can tell u I have had mine for 12 years, 10 of which the battery has been dead. Did nothing for knee pain from a replacemt surgery that only made things worse.
Multiple adjustments with reps, but nothing helped. So now, after all this time, was scheduled to get an MRI, only to find since battery is dead, they can’t do MRI since it is unable to go into MRI mode. My pain management physician office has contacted Medtronic, spoke to a rep named Adam who was supposed to get a form filled out for my dr to give to Radiologist. He said Kristen had those forms. He Would get it to Dr. he was also,supposed to,contact me. T hat was 3 days ago and nothing.
This has thrown everything out of whack, so right now my only other option is to have this dam thing removed, which I should have done years ago.
You make the decision about your situation, but know if I had to do it all over again I def would not.
