I had the first scs by advance bionic in MA in 2004. It worked
wonderfully for a few months. Because of my RSD which gets worse
in the cold, I moved to Florida one year later. I could not find
anyone to help me with my stimulator because as they said, they
didn't put it in. I had terrible trouble with it firing off all
over my back and the battery had migrated out of the pocket and
I would have to constantly move it back. I finally got it
removed by a surgeon who was friends with my doc. Thank God. My
spine is completely wrecked now since it. I am in pain daily
from it. So please, do your homework before making this
decision.
