Ahhh yes, the reacher/grabber/picker upper thingys! I wish I were the one who patented those things!
Ticchick, what type of pain do you have? Doctors will recommend the SCS for several issues. Have you discussed your symptoms with a Dr yet? I'm interested in knowing what he/she would say in regard to your inquiry.
I'm sorry you are faced with these frustrations

It's sure good to have you, tho. You'll find plenty of support here.
I hope you'll stick around - we're always learning from one another!
Welcome aboard
