Hi,
My father has a SCS, he has had it for over 8 years now. This past Saturday he was brought into ER because it was malfunctioning and go stuck in the on position. He was having difficulty swallowing and urinating and getting other shocks throughout his body. Long story short, he met with his neurosurgeon and they turned everything to off, but now is waiting surgery to have it removed in two weeks.
He loved it up to this point.
Good luck with your decision.
