Also agree that you need to turn down SCS. It can agravate flares if too hi. Sometimes I turn mine off for a few hours in a flare. It is rare as I run mine 24/7/ Also when was the last time you were reprogrammed? Might need to do that too. Pain patterns change,and I have had to be reprogrammed many times. Hope you are doing better-Fondly-Carol

PS also HIGHLY agree with previous post re :drugs and Dr. UGH to those who have no idea what we deal with every day of our lives!!!!
