Has anyone had the surgical implant, made by Medtronics, tor Neurostimulation? And does any one know of a surgeon who does that procedure in the South East part of the country. I'm seriously considering Dr. Sheu at Beth Israel Hospital in New York. I sure would like to get closer to Memphis, TN. Anyone had sucess with that procedure?

I do hope someone knows what stimulator was implanted as I am also looking for what brands people are using. It seems no one knows what brands were implanted and it really is an important question/answer. Especially since so many are on the market.

If you do a search for spinal cord stimulator on the RSD board, you should come up with quite a few threads. There have been a lot of pro's and cons about them. You definitely want a surgeon who has had a lot of experience implanting them.

Also if you do a search on the username Shawley, he has one by Medtronic. He is on the boards off and on - mainly the back problem board and this board.
