As it gets closer to my implant date I am getting more and more terrified as keeping my job is imperative. I can work now with meds, but my doctor said I will be able to work sitting 2-3 weeks post op and the message boards I am reading don't seem to agree with this.

Sorry for the late reply, haven't been on the PC much lately. No the pain wasn't from the surgery or implant. The locos were just shaking me around too much. At home or out riding the bike, life was good but as soon as I went to work it started to aggravate things again. The leads (not paddles) were inserted aiming to treat C2 and have been great but obviously masking those issues have brought others to the fore which has lead to more treatment. On Wednesday I had the nerve ends in the facet joints of C5, 6 & 7 zapped which hopefully will help me get a handle on things again.
