hi
i had my st. judes, SCS implanted two and half years ago, i had laminactomy done in 2005 that left me with failed back syndrome and neuropathy in my L5, S1. I was 26 and living in constant pain. I am really happy that i implanted the SCS and have no regrets. It definately should not be a decision taken lightly and does change your life for good and bad. I was experencing extreme nausea post implant surgery for roughly a year but that subsided. Recently i have been experiencing headaches, migraines and i do think the SCS somehow is responsible. but overall it is well worth having it. I can work and function and instead of living on drugs, and rarely need any pain killers to get by.
Good luck,
hope it works out for the best.
