Best of Luck. I could hardly wait for my scs- nevro,I had great results from the trial. The device inserted 3-2016, it has been operational 10 total days. They want to reprogram again, my dr. want it out, or ipg replaced as advised by other scs neuro. For now, it stays off to enjoy Chi-summer. yes with pain, injections, and meds- fairly managable. Do major homework on the device - could be great or not.

Hi the device is apparently about the size of a pacemaker and is inserted under the skin mine is going by my shoulder and I have to recharge it every night my surgeon told me to think of it like a internal tens machine hope this helps
