I pray for you that your time seems to go by quickly and that soon you have the blessing of the stim to bring everything under control.
God bless you,

It's been 3 weeks since surgery.
The surgical pain is all gone as far as I can tell. It's just the normal old pain.
I had 99% pain relief when they turned the stim on... it was when I went off the pain meds that the pain came back. So unfortunately it seems too much of a coincidence and now I don't know what to think. Do I go see my surgeon and have this thing removed, or what? Who knows. Blah.
I see my pain management doctor on the 15th, but he won't be able to advise me much on the SCS.. will just lead me back to the surgeon. And I can't see him for at least a month.
