Pooh: I'm not so sure it's a question of another lead as I have leads over my entire spine given that I have two implants. My impression is that they can't get the coverage to reach the areas I need, as the cervical implant is designed mainly for arm/neck problems and the lumbar implant is designed for lower back/leg problems. They were actually quite pleased that I'm getting as good as lower back coverage as I am because the lumbar implant tends to be more for leg/feet pain, and they often can't get good coverage in the lower back area. Guess I'll have to wait and see my pain dr.

I'm going to go back to see my old accupressure guy, whom I worked with for years, and see if maybe he can help alleviate some pain. I was so hoping these two lil' gizmos would cover it all and I could stop living at doctors' offices!

Thanks for your prayers
