Hi Tracy annd Christine ~ what brand Stimulator do you guys have? My PM Doc showed me a new stimulator by Boston Scientific, which is REALLY SMALL, and it is "rechargeable", so I am curious if this is what you have.

When the permanent leads get placed in the neck (after the Trial) for RSD of the hands/arms, ar you able to move your neck and back normally, or do you have to be "cautious" with certain movements/activites so that the leads do not "migrate" or become displaced?

Also, how PAINFUL was the permanent implant and the recuperation period from the surgery?

I'm "willing" to try the Trial, but to tell ya the truth--is sounds so Scarey !!!!

Thanks!
