Hi ALL, Seeker here, Greetings to you all. I am new to the Forum. My wife and I both have spine problems . My wife has Arachnoiditis after a multilevel Fusion. I have had 2 back surgerys, the last being a so called "sucessful" fusion until 6 months later when the problems resumed. It seems like many, I continue to seek answers, solutions, and sharing of lifes experiences.

I do have a question concerning my wife's SCS for which I have not found much experience. Has anyone had to have a battery replaced on the older medtronics SCS? My wife has had hers for 3 years and is nearing the end of battery life. She has severe pain and her STS set to the MAX almost always. In addition she is on meth and fentnyl.

I will probably be getting a STS in the near future. Any comments concerning the new rechargable Medtronic's units
Thanks for any help.
Our Love and Prayers are with you all
