Excellent news about the relief of the foot pain! I know that just during the trials themselves I experienced such relief I pondered (briefly, mind you) not going back in for them to remove them 'cuz I knew it would be a while before the permanent ones would be approved and then implanted.

Yeah, it's expensive but I guess they figure that in the long run it's cheaper than constant office visits, paying for pain meds., and all the other costs that go along with living with chronic pain. I'm sure someone somewhere sat down with a calculator and figured out that it would save money in the long run or I don't think ins. companies would be so happy to pay for the stimulators!

Praise God for your pain relief. Now we need to know if you're going to give your buzzer a name, as some of us on here have. I have two, so mine are affectionately called "the twins". What do you want to name your new implant???
