Welcome to NT, I'm so glad you found us!
I'm sorry to hear of this prolonged disabling pain that you've been experiencing. Did you have an injury to spark this, or is it a degenerative condition?
The good thing I'm seeing is that you've got good doctors looking after you. You certainly want a doctor you trust and who has extensive experience with these.
I have a medtronic unit for my lower extremity RSD, burning nerve pain. I've been very happy with it - covers 70-75% of pain. Several others here have the Medtronic as well. Boston Scientific seems to be the company that is most esteemed, at least from what I'm seeing, but I spose it all depends on the condition being treated.

I live in a small community and didn't really have a choice of which company to go with. Medtronic is the vendor my Dr uses and that was that. Mark56 loves his Boston Sci! It's amazing to see how far he's come since his horrible car accident. He'll be along shortly to share.

I don't blame you for being leary. We ALL were! Heck, I was totally creeped out when first told about these things

Please stick around! You're sure to get lots of support and feedback.
This is such a great place

Caring,
Rae
