Treca, I LOVE my cervical implant. I noticed the relief in my hands right away. With less pain and fatigue in them, I could write longer, color with my children, and prepare meals like I used to. My rep called me every day of my trial (lasted 5 days) and I was sad when they pulled the leads out. I must admit the first day, the stimulation sensation itself seemed a bit annoying. By the second day, it did not bother me. By the third day, I actually liked it! It's sort of like an acquired taste. Communication with your rep is key! If one program does not work, don't rule out that another one won't work either.
I hope your surgery went well today and hope to hear some good news. I will check in to see how you've made out :-D
