Once you have the trial hey will give you a thumb drive with all the blurb in it or you can google it. YouTube also have quite a lot of info. There is one that shows the full implant being done, don't watch it if you get quesy, if you do watch it, remember you will be asleep. There is also one that explains how they do the trial.

Pam,
If I recall correctly, you had to have the first SCS implant removed because of issues and had a second surgery to implant a paddle SCS which I believe required a laminectomy. Did the first implant have the buzzing/vibrating type? From what you describe, it would appear the paddle SCS does not have the pulsing.
