Nancy,

I had the temporary stimulator installed and it was absolutely wonderful. I experienced 80% pain reduction within 2 days. Where mine went wrong is the doctor did not get the permanent one in the same location. Right now my pain is as bad as it was before they installed this, almost $200,000 piece of equipment. I have had it adjusted 5 times and still cant get the relief I had before. This stimulator is a crap shoot really. The doctor doesn't understand why I can't get the relief I had before so it is an ongoing battle. I know this probably doesn't help you much but just know your not in this alone.
