First thank you Pooh_ac commenting on this post. Secondly sorry to here that you have had to endure all of that. However I'm glad that you get relief from you scs. That is what I am hoping I can achieve.
when you reach EOL on the unit do they give you the most recent model out or do they just pull the battery and replace it ? The one my pain doc referred me to is the newest one that can be used in an mri here is the link **Moderator Edit** seeing I'm new here it wont let me put it as a link if you copy and paste should work it did for me
