boston scientific warned me that the pain would come back. what they did not say is that it would come back with a vengeance. so i'm back to having to struggle to walk at times. that's the bad news. the good news is that i've got a tentative date for the implant (2-9-12). we're going to use the plain leads not the paddle leads which is more than fine with me. all we have to do now is get the insurance to agree.
