I'm starting this thread out of curiosity and I know it will help newcomers get some idea on what they might expect from their implant.

I see folks coming out of the woodwork who have these units and it would be great if you would just post your testimony on how much pain does your Implant cover??
I know several here are very new to receiving their implants so it may be too soon to tell.
But if you've had yours for any lenghth of time PLEASE chime in!

For example: I've had my lumbar SCS for about 5 months. After weaning off most of the heavy pain meds, I'm seeing that I'm getting about 70-75% of pain coverage of what used to be level 8 pain. Not bad.
I still need to take breakthru meds, but I have been able to regain my life to a large degree.

Even if you are unhappy with your unit, please share that as well. People who do a search on the internet find this forum and they need to hear the realistic expectations.

Much Apprciated!
