Eliza Jane
I don't think this is a weird question at all. Even in my immediate family and especially my husband all felt that the SCS would remove all my pain and the issues associated with it. My husband had gone to so many appts. And didn't understand that it is only a tool and is not a guaranteed cure.
Like you, I was on our church's prayer tree and many asked why there was still pain. I tell them how SCS works and that there is HOPE for pain relief and that some days it works amazingly well and other days require more meds to help control pain.
I hope and pray that you will find relief beyond your expectations and that everyone will be joyful that your pain will lessen.
