Hi ~ I had the SCS implanted for 6 months -- I had hoped that it would solve alot of my pain problems -- but unfortunately it didn't. Then, after having it in for months, the darn thing tried to work itself OUT of me!!! The docs said I didn't have enough "fat" content in my body to hold it in!!! UGH. So I had to have it removed. Removal is MUCH worse than implantation!!

If you try it, I hope you have good results! God bless. Hugs, Lee
