Alaina,

Sorry your trial was unsuccessful. I know your frustration.

I had my failed SCS trial a few years ago. I had leads, etc. put in on a Thursday. The following Monday rep tried unsuccessfully to reprogram. My PM removed the leads that day. A few weeks later, my PM wanted me to do another trial. I declined.

Obviously SCS works for some; but not all of us are good candidates. Oxycontin and Percocet have been the only thing that has made my 24/7 pain tolerable. I have been on the same dose for over four years. You mentioned the Oxycontin did not work for you. What dose were you taking and how many per day? Sometimes the dose may not be adequate.

Alaina, hope the pain from the trial procedure has healed and your pain issues have not worsened.
