I can't go on like this! Ugh.
I also found an Old Thread I wrote back when this subject was first brought up by my Dr. and this was that thread. One young lady stated she still had to use 50mg Fentanyl Patches while having the Cervical SCS as well. Are you also on an Opiate Med yourself too?
Another VERY Curious SCS Member - PLEASE HELP?
Would yours be a Medtronic device as well?
Thx for the reply. |
The Medtronic reps were great. I had my SCS implanted on August1, 2014. I won't lie, the first 8 weeks are really tough. I was in a cervical collar and couldn't turn my head. I couldn't bend, twist, lift or drive(of course). I had a 2 and 4 year old at the time. So, it really sucked! You have to be so careful so the leads don't move at all.
