I bet, in part, the Drs and Reps have an obligation to say this to us to 'cover their rears'......they don't want to be held liable for the SCS devices getting a bad rap if something unfortunate were to happen. It would make for some pretty ugly headlines. Which I can understand. So......'IF' something WERE to happen, they would just be able to say 'We told you so!'.....and the responsibility and blame would fall on us.

Mine usually is kept running at a pretty low level, which in most cases I don't even realize it is ON! Which is good! This means it is doing what it SHOULD be doing....and I don't have to take the higher doses of pain meds, in which case, THAT would have put me at more of a driving risk if you ask me!! .....'driving under the influence' ??
