The woman who made our curtains has one of these. It works great for her. One caveat - one day she woke up and she couldn’t move. It had stopped working. I can’t remember if it was the battery or the device itself just died. Anyway, it took a few days for them to schedule the surgery, but she’s moving just fine again. I had never heard of these before, I find them fascinating.

Thank you for that...It’s interesting that she couldn’t move when it stopped working...it should have just made her pain levels increase, not temporarily paralyze her. This is only a pain block system...it’s suppose to block the message of pain to the brain, like an external tens unit, but implanted for longer term relief
