I wanted to ask you some questions. My doctor brought up the subject neuro stim devices and I wanted to know how I could go about posting a question and suvey of who has the Boston Stim and who has the Medtronics Stim and if they got relief from the stim they had implanted and then once we had a good results on this maybe it could then get posted up on top for newer members to look at...Seems that these are the only two manufactures of the implanted stim devices and maybe if we could post results it might help people out better when they get faced with this decision like me...or would this be an off limit type situation? This might be a Moderator type posting question? For me I know I'd like to know first hand from the people on here whether the Boston or Medtronic helped them out better...as far as the actual device is concerned...
I do not always phrase my questions correctly and you or one of the other Mods might be better posting something like this as it would be something for everyone to read....People on here have first hand experiences with one or the other devise and well I know this info could be of help to me...and possibly future members and it might also force these companies to improve their devises as well....lots of good possibilities...

Tina, thanks a million for helping Chart out with this.

Chart, seems like this question has been asked few times by other posters in the past. You may want to look in the older posts on this, type in which is the best SCS unit, Medtronics, Boston or St. Jude & see what you can pull up. You know a lot of this comes down to what brand the dr is pushing at the moment. This is something I have noticed over the years, the patients are not given the choice of which unit its what the dr is pushing.

Take care.....Susie
