Hi,

I have had one and I had good luck with it. I found the trial left me in quite a bit of back pain. It took me almost 3 days before I felt like getting out of bed, but then I found I could get up and walk around much better then before. I had the perm place about a month later. the recovery is harder than I thought it would be. Once I started to heal from the surgery I wanted to get up and move and that is when you really have to be careful not to bend and twist and move too much. After a few months things were much better. I did end up having it removed and a new one put in, and then I developed an infection and had the complete thing removed. When it worked, it was great. I really wish I had better luck, but things didn't work out that way. I may consider having it put back in way down the line, but for now I'm still healing from the surgeries. I really hope it works for you, and that you try different setting on the unit. See what works and what doesn't. Just remember that as you move with the trial, it will change how it feels to you. It isn't the same when you get the perm one. any questions, just ask.

Hugs
Mary
