Choosing the Right Spinal Cord Stimulator: My Personal Experience with Abbott Burst Spinal Cord Stimulator

I recently underwent surgery for my chronic pain, and I'm excited to share my experience with the Abbott Burst spinal cord stimulator. As someone who has tried various treatments without success, I was hesitant at first, but I'm thrilled with the results.

My journey began when I received a remote control with settings A, 1-7, B, 1-7, and C, 1-7. At first, it seemed overwhelming, but my doctor explained that we would need to start from scratch since the leads were inserted in a different location than initially planned. The procedure went smoothly, except for some unexpected reactions to the staples and surgical adhesive.

The biggest challenge I faced was dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a six-month delay. However, it allowed me time to adjust to my new device and start noticing significant improvements. In fact, I've experienced an 80% reduction in pain – a remarkable difference.

When deciding on a spinal cord stimulator, it's essential to consider several factors. For me, the key was understanding each option's benefits and drawbacks. That's why I asked questions like:

* Has anyone had experience with Stimwave spine stimulators?

* Can Nevro help when Medtronic didn't?

* Has anyone tried the HF10 Spinal Cord Stimulation Device?

After researching and consulting with my doctor, I decided to opt for the Abbott Burst spinal cord stimulator. While it wasn't an easy decision, I'm glad I took the time to weigh my options carefully.

Ultimately, choosing the right spinal cord stimulator requires careful consideration of various factors. I hope my experience with the Abbott Burst device serves as a valuable resource for those navigating this journey.
