Welcome! I'm rather new here myself - but am relatively young like you. I'm 34, and just had my permanent boston scientific unit installed 2 weeks ago. I am in the luck group of 2 that has gotten to program their own stim after surgery....and since you work for the company, see if you can swing this!! It makes a huge difference in quality of pain coverage to be able to tweak the controls yourself. I am sure Mark will be along to tell you the same shortly
