Beth I hope everthing works out for you too. My story is completely different. You had a good rep. I did not. Mine was present for the trial and present for the implant and thats the last I ever saw him. I called a few times to my pain Dr., they let the rep know and I ended up calling medtronic's and reporting him. He was so kind until the implant was done, but he never gave me his phone number.

My problems were different from yours. I had 5 back surgeries. And full of scar tissue everytime they went in. I just had the SCS took out last month and that was the end of my pain. Anything you have done is only as good as the person or Dr. who does it. I went to a different surgeon this time and I hope I never have to have anything like done again. Most people that have had the implant end put having them took out. I hope you don't and your rep sounds ok. I will say a prayer for you.
