Hi Vanna
I understand one SCS is internal where the TENS is on the surface. What my concern is the short time I used the TENS it increase my pain and kept the pain at the higher level permanently to this day. The reason for using the TENS was to decrease my pain permanently. This is what I was told by the PT.
Since the TENS cause my pain to increase wouldn't the SCS do the same making my pain increase even worse then it is now which is at a 9 with pain meds. This is why I really am not keen on doing the trail for the SCS. My pain level with taking several pain meds only help a few hours a day. My days are getting longer because I cannot sleep much. I go to bed exhausted only to get up a few hours later for the rest of the day.
Thanks to everyone on there replys
