I had no clue how much different the implant would be from the trail.I had no clue how much wrong information about the surgery and recovery I was given.
I have had the drg remapped- and reprogrammed several times- After 3 weeks its just starting to be somewhat helpful.
Communication with my doctor has NOT been good. I am discovering things I should have known weeks before the surgery such as my diagnosis.
Thank you -

Whoah ... it’s only been three weeks so don’t panic.
What is the issue with the Doctor?
It does take a while to get the impulses right ... in saying that, I had a second lot of leads put in my back and it took about 5 minutes before the sensations were covering all the areas of my sciatic pain. It was just a huge disapointment that I ended up having to have everything removed and there is no way they can put anything back due to scar tissue.
I hope you get some help soon.
See if you can speak to another Doctor. It’s your body, stay strong!
