Summertime, I have an SCS. I would not give up my SCS. I got it a few months ago & it helps me. It did not give me a significant reduction in pain levels but it takes the edge off alot & it is distracting. What I liked about the SCS is you get to have a trial of it before it gets implanted permanetly. So you know if its going to help you. You are not locked into it before you get a chance to try it. and it has alot of adjustment built into it. There are alot of settings the techs cn change to try & get the right feel for the person. I did get some spreading with the implant. My generator is right below my waist on my right side in the back and my leads run all the way up my spine to my neck. I now have RSD pain in my lower back on the right & in my hip & when its bad it goes down into my leg. But I knew that was a risk I was taking when I did it & I am lucky it isnt more. If you have anymore questions just ask.
Hugs, Denny
