did u have the trial scs first? i had the trial, it worked great, then when i had the perm it did not help at all. my pain spread- originally was fingers to elbow- after the implant the pain went to my neck. my back was constantly hurting from the lead, my hip always hurt where the battery was. i got shocked all the time... i had it reprogrammed several times and nothing helped. there are quite a few others i know that have had a lot of issues with theirs.... yet there are also those who have good results. i however wouldn't recommend it. i ended up turning it off after about 6 months, and removed a year later

Also my doctor is debating on giving me an Epidural Catheter(Tunneled) too, so if you have any advice for me, I would love to hear it.
Since I am only 17 my mom is against both, so I am trying to convince her they are okay, but all I can find on the Catheter is that it gives most people an infection so...can anyone prove this wrong?
Thank you :]
