I have a Boston Scientific SCS for pain post scoliosis surgery. I’ve had it almost three years. Never once have I gotten any relief from the pain, no matter how many programs adjustments by BS technicians. In fact, I got the feeling after so many attempts, they were really exasperated when I called.
So, as far as BS being the “gold standard” for a SCS, I would not agree, unless, of course, other SCSs are worse.
