Welcome!
It's good that you are doing a lot of checking on this. Come on over to the SCS forum in which Jo*mar gave the link. You'll get TONS of great info (both positive and not so positive) I've had mine 3 yrs now and love what it has done for my RSD/neuropathy in both legs.
The only issue I'm having is back spasms. for some reason the muscles in my back are very maaad. I suspect it's because of a migrated lead that was removed 6 months after the implant.

See ya at the forum!
Again, here's the link, just click on it:

Start a new thread when you get there. The 'New Thread' button is in the upper left corner of the screen..
Holler if you have questions

Caring,
