I have been watching this board regarding all the nightmares
regarding SCS. I also have an Advanced Bionics SCS. This was
the worst decision I have ever made to have this implanted.
I have been having nothing but problems. Mine does not work
right. It has been reprogrammed and still does not work
right. My pain is ALOT worse now than it was before I had
this implanted.
I am in the process of changing Doc's right now because of
this. I am also really concerned because the new Doc's do
not use Advanced Bionic..... They use Medtronics!!!
