You have found a fantastic place for support, understanding and care. No doubt you'll be getting alot of good feedback.
So, are you in your trial now as we speak?
It is a strange feeling, but such a welcome relief to me when I first turned mine on and the burning in my legs turned into a soothing 'buzz'.
The good thing about the stimulation is that you can control it....and even turn it 'off' if the 'buzz' gets a bit irritating. The amplitude pulse/width will adjust so that it presents itself as a constant buzzing, or turned down, it will feel more like a 'thumping'. I'm 3 yrs into mine and most of the time I am unaware that it is on.

Here's hoping that your trial is a complete success! Please keep us posted!

It's really nice to have you here

Rare,

Thank you for your quick response. The scs was placed for trial on Monday. If I look up or down, the frequency increases. I can't tel if my fingers are still numb, if it is the buzz sensation, or a combination. My occupation involves computer usage. If the permanent is the same, I will have more sleep but I don't know that I will be able to work. I want to tell you more, but hurts to even type on the touchpad. Am I doing something wrong? I want this to be my answer.

Thanks.
