Four weeks and three days post surgery, implantation of Boston Scientific(BS) precision spectra SCS. I noted that as each few days passed that I was turning up the "volume" on the stimulator until today I hit 100% to get the same relief as 65% did after week one. Panic. Did this mean that the stimulator was losing it's touch? A phone call to BC counselor (some people call them reps) took away my fear. He stated that scar tissue is forming at the laminectomy/paddles site which makes the current, at its present setting, less effective. When I return on August 11 for adjustments, he will raise the stimulator's parameters or range (grasping for words here as this is all so new). The BS counselor said the early formation of scar tissue is good.
So, eleven more days of 17 restrictions which I will be able to shed little by little until Dec 23 when my six-month healing process is complete. patience.
Peace, Mims
