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.

I'm just going by what the researcher said. I'm sorry it hasn't worked for you. I think the exasperation might come from the inability to help you. They want their product to work. As a Bone Marrow Transplant ICU nurse, I too would get frustrated when I couldn't help a patient stop vomiting or having diarrhea or bleeding out of every orifice. Will you have it removed? What do your doctor and rep say?
