Sorry to hear you're having problems. I can imagine how disheartening it must be for you as this lil' gem is supposed to help, not cause problems.

I'm no doctor (nor have I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express so feel like I could be one), but it sounds reasonable to me. I'll be getting a cervical SCS along with the lumbar here in a couple of weeks, and my main complaint for getting the cervical SCS is the creeping headache. It starts out as pain in my shoulders, then as it gets worse it goes up my neck, into my jaw and then when it really wants to get my attention it affects my vision, makes me very nauseous and gives me a lot of tension in my temples. I would think that it could be that your stim. may be too high. I know when I went through the lumbar trial, I had my stim. on too high (thought I had to really feel it to get benefits), and it made my leg muscles very, very sore. I turned it down to where I couldn't even feel it on (but the remote showed it was on), and a few hours later my legs felt much better.

Makes sense to me that if something is causing one's headaches (as in my case), then a stimulating vibration on one's nerves could also cause headaches. Have you noticed if the headaches get a little better when you turn down the remote? Have you ever ran the remote low where you couldn't even feel it but remote shows it's still on?

Hope you find some answers soon!
