Sorry for going off-topic a bit...

How big are these SCS devices? Larger than a pacemaker? Smaller? About that size? I'd think that they would be able to at least make them as small as possible for it to be comfortable. And if they are too uncomfortable for men, then what are women supposed to do? A woman's body is smaller. That's just another thing I didn't know about SCS. I had heard about loose leads and shocks coming from the devices, but this too is a major disadvantage. Thanks for sharing!
