Default My SCS

Is for high speed traffic accident spinal injury pain in low spine and legs. After many surgeries, I experienced unrelenting spasms and burning pain lumbar down to the knees. Below that I feel nothing, but I can walk with some stability problems, so Inuse a cane.

With that background, the stim produces a tingling sensation, which produces parasthesia. Depending on the intensity of the pain I am experiencing, I can ramp it all of the way up to causing, via parasthesia, paralysis.....absolute loss of sensation. This effect means I must be confined to bed or wheelchair. Such use is rare for me, and I tend toward the lesser tingling intensity.

The cool thing about this is I was able to wean from opiates with the rare exceptional use to control a pain spike breakthrough I cannot overcome via stim.

Nope, I am not a standard PN patient. Just thought I would try to describe my situation as a help.
