Ballerina - please do not include me in your list of those who have not had success with the SCS. Yes, I have had a revision on one of mine, but that is not a failure or spread, or necessarily a bad thing. I have two stimulators implanted (cervical and thoracic). I consider the fact that I can use my hands and my pain is reduced a success. The other is still a work in progress. It doesn't work to the fullest amount yet, but my pain is reduced there as well...also not a failure.
Thank you,
Nanc
