Well, thank you
Actually, the other lead that is still where it is supposed to be DOES still work (Thank God).....so it covers the burning leg pain pretty good.....BUT it's a trade off because when I have the SCS on, I get bad muscle spasms in my lower back where the migrated lead is. But, like you, I have meds for that and am just taking one day at a time and have faith that all will be rectified.

Try not to worry yourself too much. I've found that it causes pain spikes when we are under stress. Those reps are trained to troubleshoot, and I'm pretty sure you'll eventually get yours working. Especially if your unit DID work at first. This tells you that it IS capable of doing what it is supposed to do.
I'm wishing you the best and we'll keep each other updated as our 'saga's' unfold.....we can learn alot this way. That's what I love so much about this forum. We tell each other everything and it helps us all to be aware of the possibilities and risks, etc.

Hang in there, it's going to work out
