First time posting on here but Have read at least the first 5 pages and hundreds upon hundreds of post, And can say this is one of the most informative sites that there is about SCS and pain pumps...

Well to begin I failed back surg. long story short I know have chronic pain in my back and all the way down both legs, several doctors later, my newest Doc talked about a Scs and/or pain pump..

I did the Trial for the last week, The first day was bad, but that was expected, day 2,3,and 4 was a lot better, Day 5 was a bad day think one of my leads moved or something, same with 6 and 7,

Anyway, after the doc took them out today, he said he could place the leads in the regular way, or have them implanted in a way where they face my spine, He said the 2nd option is more complicated due to removing more bone from the area and having the leads so close to the spine, and if they ever moved its not something they can fix without going back under...

The reason he mentioned the 2nd type of surg, was because to give me more pain control in my back as the trial didnt seem to help my back pain, it help my leg pain I would say 40 to 50 percent.

But I was just curious if anyone on here has had the 2nd type of surg. done,
