Q1. Did you have a SCS put in?

A. Yes

Q2. If you were given relief from the SCS how long?

A. Very good for about 18 months, then the RSD "migrated" to another area, and the SCS does not cover it anymore.

Q3. Did you still have to take pain meds?

A. Yes, but fewer than before. Now that is has moved, I am taking more than before.

Q4. Any complications after having one put in?

A. Main complicatin is more of an inconvienience than a complication. The scars from the surgery are very painful. (Same thing happened after foot surgery - still hurts after 7 years.) The spot selected for the SCS generator was not large enough and it is puching against the skin from the inside, extremely unconfortable. And the installer did not drive the wore anchors far enough into the verebra, making a shart point from the inside. Nothing health-threatening, though.

Q5. Did the trial work better after the implant?

A. No, about the same.

Q6. Has it affected your mobility in anyway?

A. No
