Question A little help needed...Medtronic Vs. Boston Scientific???

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is having a good evening and not in too much pain. I am new to the site and have been reading and researching like crazy. I will be having my cervical SCS trail on Jan 25th and I have a quick question. I do not know if this has been answered and I've searched through the site and have not found what I was looking for.

So, my question is this....

Which company in your experience for people who have the Cervical SCS Implant is better for the Cervical vs. the lumbar? Medtronic or Boston? Is one better for one area vs. the other? For instants is Medtronic better for lumbar SCS and not cervical or is Boston better for Cervical and not lumbar?

Am I making any sense? LOL

By the way if the trial goes well I will be having paddles and not "regular" leads placed. I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

If there is a link or thread already out there about this topic please point me in the right direction because I just could not find it

I have to say that I am so happy to have found this site. It is very informative and all of you guys are so encouraging and supportive. It's really nice to know that you guys are here when people are in need of support and information.

So thank you guys in advance for your help and comments. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hugs,
Treca
