Well, if you are the world's biggest baby, I am in 2nd place sweetheart.

I can tell that you have had a very busy and stressfull day & I know it is so much easier said than done, but please try to take it easy. You deserve it!!!

I had my trial done in August 09 and I know that each and every person is different...I take oxycontin (40mg at the time) along with percocet 10/325mg and a handful of other meds and my drs. didn't have me stop cold turkey. I was told that if I did I would become sick pretty quickly.

I was told to take it easy the first couple of days and then try to do some "normal" things "gently" after that. My trial SCS was in for 7 days, by day 4-5 I was feeling 1/2 way decent...not great, but decent...but I didn't stop my meds either.

I am so sorry to hear that your day sucked. When you do go back in a few days, please talk to the PA or whoever is taking out the SCS and let them know how you felt, esp. the rep. as this rep is going to be with you for a very long time. You need to have a good working relationship with them. If you are feeling rushed now during the trial no telling how it will be when you have the perm. put in....just my 2 cents.

Keep us posted as to how you are feeling, feel free to pm me if you want to chat or need anything
