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.
