A member asked:
Can a person with a spinal cord stimulator become tolerant and not receive benefits in the long run?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SCS: Although you have a scs - tolerance to its effects can be seen. This is more with older designed systems. The newer ones that are designed now days(boston scientific) result in less tolerance. One has to rule out new pathology as a reason.
