He expressed how important it is to stretch the tissue out durning the healing process that will take aboput 90 days. I told him I was unhappy with where the implant was placed(I have the paddels @ c2-c3) the implant ended up on my waist line Where my clothing irritates it He agreeded with me and said he was following the Boston Scientific Rep's direction for where it should go. She was worried about my bra line!!! My result is not as good as the trial as yet. I hope the computer adjustment by Boston Scientific rep will put things right. It has been worth it for me. When I turn up 2 of my programs(the best ones) it causes my right shoulder to jerk. Has any one had problems like this?

Hi J! I have had my lead in for over a year and had the battery removed last week. My back had been killing me over the battery and I had had three surgerys to try to make it more comfy but it didn't help. So I opted to remove the battery and not the lead. I am having pain now over the lead but take muscle relaxers to help with it. When I had my battery hooked up and turned it on it made the muscles in my stomach and side jerk and spasm. Mine was implanted for my leg. I am now having to decide if I can live without the SCS and if so we will remove my lead. So I guess will see what happens. Good luck with yours. Angela
