My husband had the unit from St Jude inserted three years ago by Dr Oliver also. They had to remove it and reinsert it after a few months as it was giving no relief. The people at St Jude don't have the patience to work with you to adjust the unit. He turned it off over 2 years ago and plans to have it removed, but he has to get permission from St Jude first! He is considering a pain pump, but that requires another operation which will be his 7th.
