Progress! Ok - someone will meet me at my six week post op appt Tuesday for more programming and the rep will unlock my remote so I have more options. Yeah! And I did have a good day yesterday - not so much as pain relief, but I was able to do more. I did reach a point 14? days ago where I turned the stim off completely for 4-5 days, then had programming. Since then I've been experimenting using very low stimulation with short periods of increased stimulation for 20-30 minutes. I haven't taken notes, but do seem to gravitate to two specific programs. I do wish I could "feel" less pain, less burning, but maybe the stim is affecting my brain? I want to be off the meds, and so far have dropped 10 mgs on the Methadone, without an increase in pain. So there is hope. Thanks to all of you who responded!
