Others will surely join on your thread and share more detail...
Some who come to mind off the top of my head are "Vannafeelbetter" (she actually has 2 SCS's and speaks very highly of what they have done for her since her car accident(s)).... "Bobinjeffmo" has Pain Pump.......Mark56 would be an excellent thread to read (Entitled 'Boston Scientific') - Marks thread has over 450 posts which chronicle his journey and bravery as he received his SCS......he is currently on the job market ! (which 5 years ago seemed an impossible goal to even dream of reaching!).........

Others, like myself, have SCS due to chronic pain conditions (mine is peripheral neuropathy/CRPS in both legs)....6 years in to this condition and still no known cause (?).......I've had my SCS almost 9 months. It's working well and takes about 70% of the horrible constant burning pain.......
As you read and get to know our stories, you will see that there is a broad spectrum of testimonials......not all are 'happy endings', but these implants can and do offer better quality of life......though there is much involved with getting one.
Also, you may want to post your specific spine injury on the "Spinal" forum here at NT and perhaps you'll get feedback regarding your injury and healing.
You've had a doozy of an injury and I hope you get feedback that can target this.
So glad to have you here
