so First Kat -YES Keep your apt and fly to see Kevin Bacon tomorrow. ask him the things we talked of ...who will be rep when the move happenes Also can he write down the program info he dose as he tweaks it and that very provide info to you AND Amy so when you are back home ...
I in my opinion don't not think beating the nerve hard with the stim and making the pain flare bad while stim on ..then shutting it off is when you get relief no not making any sense to me. if that is the theory what use is a stim as each and every one of us can just slap ourselves in the face with a hammer for an hour or two and once we stop we will get relief. So get some real food in your tummy a good nights sleep and in the morning safe travels andonce your are there Get Your B on . be firm and know we are all praying things go well and that the good will last super extra long long time after .
Cheryl Thanks for saying such nice things
I myself dont think this surgery is a very hard one to have done and they way they are doing this surgery today compared to when I had mine done.. lol . I had my final not stitches mostly staples and I had to wait 21 days after my final surgery to have my PNS turned on. you all are getting programmed and have the stim on right after surgery and everything is different.
I think that is a bit of a problem there are many more people being offered this as an option and not as many experienced programmer reps to go around for certain areas of the country or perhaps it is more doctors choose to use one company more then another so the demand for a good rep with that one compnay is higher and ...
I do not at all think or believe there is one maker that is better then another I just know the PNS work's for me and for others.
IT DOSE NOT take all the pain away you are NOT pain free this is just to help control the pain and knock it down to a lower level
