Hi everyone,
Thank you for all your wonderful threads. I live just south of Perth Western Australia in a small country town. I traveled up to Perth 3 months ago and after trialling the Boston Scientific implant I went ahead and got the SCS permanently implanted.
Everything that possibly could go wrong did and I had it removed only 2 months later. The sales rep had set mine to the coarse setting (the most intense) I think it was a personality clash a huge personality clash, maybe it's because I have visible tattoos. Luckily I saw a relief rep who actually saw how unprofessional he had acted and his funny games like calling 8 of my programs "Bottom" then locked me out of some of the settings so I couldn't change the name It was in very poor taste! I'd love to report him, but I'm too afraid of the back lash and what the outcome won't be worth going through that. I had a melt down or breakdown as it was.

My question is has any one had their leads implanted permanently under their skin and not not in the spinal cavity? Or would that is used only on the trial? Every time I lent back on a chair I got zapped like a cattle prod. (Already it was on the most intensive setting).

Thanks in advance,
Julz
