So you finally DID get the SCS! I know that I read somewhere else here at NT that you were thinking in terms of getting one.....

I'm sorry that you are having some issues....
You know...the first thing that comes to my mind when I read what you are describing is that maybe your battery unit is loose in the 'pocket' and it is shifting.....I've heard of situations where the battery turnes and moves - as though it is trying to work it's way out (sounds 'creepy' I know )
But it can be easily remedied.
This might be why you are having trouble getting the signal when trying to charge....
Have you had a follow up recently? I'd call and have Dr look at it and make sure he's aware of this. If the battery moves too much, there could be the possibility of the leads coming loose (detached) from the IPG battery unit.
I'd get it checked as soon as you can...

You've had your unit for 4 weeks, right? Did it charge ok up til now?
Have you fallen or bumped it or anything like that?

Glad you popped over here!
It's good to hear from you!
Please stick around and let us know how this unfolds.
It's very possible that you just need an adjustment of sorts......especially if everything seemed ok up til now.
Has the unit brought you the pain relief you were hoping for?
