My sister has the implant. I know that she is still in pain, though the pain is not as severe.
There are different problems though, with everyone, so this may work great for you; don't be discouraged before it is done.
Be sure, once the procedure is done, that you keep up on the charging of the battery, though. I do know that just recently, her battery would NOT charge. She was worried about the battery dying. If it did, the would have to remove the battery, with surgery, and replace it, this is something that is usually done every 10 years and she has only had this for about a year. After calling the person she needed to call - not sure who that is, I just take her to the spine institute for appointments, but do not know much about the ins & outs. I know the basics... no MRI's EVER again, etc....... anyways, he (being the tech.) sent her a new battery by over night mail.
I hope this procedure works wonders for you. Do all that they tell you to do, and I am sure you will see a difference. I know my sister has seen a difference.
Best of luck to you!
