Hi "Hick" ~ Are you trying to lose weight? I just wondered cause I had trouble with the SCS too, and I ended up having to have it removed and believe me, it's no fun coming OUT. lol. The "generator" was 'moving around' and actually tried to work itself out of me, and I had to wear an ace bandage to hold it in. Turns out I didn't have enough fat content in me, so I couldn't hold the thing in. ick. I had it in for 6 months, and during that time, scar tissue forms around it and also the leads, and that's what makes it so painful when they remove it. I still have a very sensitive spot in my upper back where the leads were, and that was 9 years ago!

I sure hope this works out for you, and your pain is relieved. It didn't do me any good at all. God bless and best of luck. Peace,, Lee
