The smaller SCS became available and was put in...sadly..it did not work for me..it actually makes my RSD mad and I can not wait to turn it off!!!!!I elect to keep it in as it was wired for both of my legs... my RSD had spread to both of my limbs by the time it was placed in so I will keep it to hopefully help with my good side as it worsens.. Take heed with the SCS.. it is a big step.. I don't really regret it due to future usage but the Dr.'s and unit managers putting it off basically cost me the chance to walk again...
