I had my permanent implant a week ago today and have experienced complete elimination of neuropathy that I have lived with for about 20 years. I have my follow up appt. today. You don't have to make a decission right away. Read everything you can get your hands on.

The scs/pump sub board is an excellent resource and the folks are real supportive. Keep in mind, the info. the doctor and device manufacturer give you will be the "best case senario". Do your own additional research, make a list of questions for the surgeon and if he/she does not answer them to your satisfaction, move on. Best wishes.
