Welcome Twinmom. Thanks for sharing your story. I'm so sorry to readabout your accident and how it has left you so debilitated. I've recently had a scs implanted, august 5th 2010. I suffer with Failed Back Syndrome. Mine was caused from a herniated disc which continued on to two spinal fusions with rods screws etc. Unfortunately that didn't help the pain in my back and legs. So the scs was my last resort. However all my metal was taken out a couple of years ago due to it causing more pain than not. Thereare a whole bunch of wonderful people on this site whole have gone through the scs implant. Many success stories too. So take time to read throughout many of the wonderful posts and also the sticky thread at the topwith lots of valuable information
So far my scs is helping with the searing pain in my legs and only some inmy back. I need to have more reprogramming done over the next few months. But definitely I do get some relief which is a bonus after having this dreaded pain for over 5 and a half years.
I hope you find and get all the information you need in relation to the scs.

Thanks for sharing your story

Jackie
