Hi faith
I can send a pic of the remote control the best thing to see a pic would be to go on the Boston scientific website but the actual stimulater is implanted in my bottom it doesn’t stick out and can only feel it if you run your hand over it I can lay on that side and cannot feel it I find having it on when I go to bed helps a lot yes I do find it help me function a bit more but my stimulater is manly for my back and leg pain hope this helps

Hi Iv got a spinal stimulater Iv had it for 6 years now it does take the edge of the pain just feels like a very strong tens machine I feel it’s worth having done did have to have the leads moved up once as it didn’t cover some areas but I recommend it I also recovered well from the operation

I know two that have them, one has yo have his removed and the other says that the effectiveness wains after time

I have been using the Quell device for many, many years. You just strap in on your leg, just below the knee. It is not intrusive at all. I use the sleeve of a loose (cut off) sock to make sure the velcro doesn't accidentally catch on things, and to give it extra support if you bump your leg. I have found it absolutely helps with pain, and it is non-intrusive. I extend the use of the stick on electrodes for years, by just washing them gently and patching them from old electrodes. You do not have to replace them as often as the company says. Doing so, would make them very expensive. I use mine just about 24 hrs a day. I plug it in to recharge when I take a shower and it is already charged by the time I get dressed. You alternate which leg you put it on to make sure you give the skin under the gel/electrode a rest.

Paula1259, would you mind sending me a picture of the machine? Does it stick out a bunch and is it hard to sleep with? Does it help you to function more?
