I would do the stims over and over again!! I loved them for the first 6 mos and then they stopeed working and my doc blamed it on bc i was soo far advanced that the RSD was just going crazy!!

The only down fall i hated from it, was that for the trial( you have to do a trial bfore you have it permanenty put in) you couldnt shower, bend, twist, lift, ect. !! it was nuts.. but got over it..lmao You do have to get used to the way it feels.. and yes it feels better then the pain, but its just weird at first.

The surgey wasnt bad at all!! i think my gallbladder surgery was way worse then the stim surgery!!

WakeGirl.. you are the first i think that also has 2 stims implanted! I have a SCS and a PNS (peripheral nerve stim, in my leg)!! Glad to know im not the only one out there!!
