Thank you Dougp for you input. Its good to hear someone who has the SCS for so long. Ive mine just 3 months now and like that I too have some relief. Your information is very good. I have a great Rep too who seems to 'get me' which is great. So plenty of tweaking sessions.

Its interesting that you should say to give yourself at least a year to heal. I suppose we wouldnt generally think that way. Especially if you get relief and feel you are getting 'back to yourself' within weeks or months.
Its a matter of taking it handy and slowly.
