Got my SCS from Boston Scientific today. The surgery was no big deal, but I am having quite a bit of pain at the incion site. In fact the pain at the incision site is worse than the original pain right now. That is HUGE for me. I have been taking Norco 10 every 3 hours for pain.
The whole procedure took about a half hour. The Boston Scientific rep was right there expalining everything, and made sure I knew how to work it before letting me go home. So now the cons.
I have to have my remote right with me because the lead does some positional moving during the trial. I called the rep only a couple hours after surgery to tell him that the feeling of the device goes away when I stand and when I lift my head off the pillow. Apparently, the leads move during the trial, and that needs to ne taken into consideration. I go from feelin the "buzzing", from my legs to my back, but when I stand up, it goes way completly.
The rep said that after the permanent leads are implanted and gets scar tissue around it, it will be secure and the problem should stop.

So, just be aware that when you lay down, you push the leads closer to your spine, allowing for a srtonger signal, during the trial.

So far I am happy with the implant and am looking forwar to participating in life again. I'll post more as the days go by. Good luck to you all.
