I too have an SCS implanted but only in the last two weeks. I have Failed Back Syndrome with persistent pain in my lower back and legs. Drives me crazy but I have to say my SCS is definitely helping. Gosh I hope it lasts.
You all sound so upbeat , its fantastic.....because life can be so down at times with pain.

At present Im in the early stages of recovering from Surgery, 2 weeks Thursday.....so Im quite immobile and feel 'redundant'!! My husband doesnt know what has hit him bowing to my every need

Ive read with great laughter that Im a lefty!!!!!! so RRAE you are not alone. Mine is in my upper left buttock!!! Ive to see my Doctor again on Monday and then I will be having my SCS tweaked in September. I do need to feel some more sensation in my buttocks and less in my feet....Im hoping that when I do get back to doing what I usually do most days (not a lot tbh) Im hoping that the SCS will give me the relief I need.

I look forward to hearing from you all and your experiences.

Im living in Dublin Ireland and as I see from the posts it appears that you are all up while Im in bed and vice versa but I hope we will catch up at some stage
