Thank you fionab for your caution and advise. I have mixed emotions at present. I am looking forward to experiencing a reduction in pain but on the other hand I dread the thought that the trial may not give me the relief I long for.

I have my "wardrobe" organised for the duration of the trial, jogpants and more jogpants. No doctor in the G.P practice I attend has even heard of a SCS. They are looking forward to seeing the town's first Bionic Woman.
