Hi Mike,
I am sorry you experienced pain with your DBS. Could I ask if your pain was pre, during, or post surgery?
I had each side done separately so 4 surgeries in total and experienced less pain with all four than I did with one carpal tunnel surgery a year later. Each DBS they gave me 20 Vicaden (sp) and I only took two and that was more for sleep than for pain. For the carpal tunnel I had the pain pill prescription refilled three times.
