Hi mad welcome to Nt, I had an scs been successful with the neuro pain relief but develop problems in the opposite limb were the battery was implanted, is a long ride since last year surgery,the original, a year later finally got approve to repositioned in my abdomen,work better but still only neuro pain no bone pain,suck, I never knew that before , now my good leg is also presenting the typical morrow effects on rsd , same feeling,same pain,without any reason, upper buttuck pain ,lower back is been added to my whole picture.
Takes time to recover from scs surgery, you have to follow the exact dr recommendations otherwise your wasting your time,is hard when you are to active, first week a lot of pain, unable to take shower and after you ok to do it, you need help with showers, wash your hair, not been able to tide you own shoes, can't use washer machine,drier because of the bending, you lead wires might came of ,also reaching stuff from high will make you to stretch you arm and pull the wire, bending is a big no no for the first 6 weeks, my pm dr said is ok by my ortho recommended time off from work at least 3 months for full recovery, my is still in recovering after a second surgery and also an unexpected gallbladder surgery two months ago.
Scs is not for everyone,consider that option your last one, is not what you expect and get used to is almost impossible, maybe other people had better results ,my work good , but game additional issues and back me up for a year, good luck In any decision you take but keep all pros and cons on any medical treatment and procedure, in my case I needs to be at least at certain percent to be able to perform at work but still did not happen,keep that also in mind, best wishes and let us know who everything went , blessings from Jesika ,
