Hi and welcome to this great forum.
I have my unit nearly two years (August) and have to say wouldn't be without it now. I have it for Failed Back Syndrome pain in my lower back and legs Yes in the beginning I noticed the smallest movement sent the stimulation in a different direction. It was no big deal because after a few days I got so used to the sensation it was ok. There are different sensations with my stim. A st Jude's stim. It's like constant buzzing/slight thumping but so relaxing. I love at night when I'm lying down how relaxing it is. It has made me more relaxed and mentally in a much better place than where I was two years ago. It's also given me more energy too. I dont feel as tired as I'm massaged all the time with the stim. Also in the past couple of months I feel the coverage much better and I'm putting it down To the fact that my leads are well scarred in and aren't moving around so much which means that the sensations are more localised. Which bring so much more relief.
I didn't get back to work in the bank unfortunately, but there are plenty here who did. So good luck with the rest of your trial and hopefully you will have a better understanding of it and decide which way you want to go.
Best of luck and keep the questions/concerns coming
Jackie

I am a Finance & HR Mgr, I look down at work all the time working on financials, etc...had so many jolts and had to be so careful with the trial. I do not have that problem at all with the permanent.  |

I want my life back. As a result, I am undergoing the SCS trial. I have many questions. The biggest one at this point is do you ever become accustomed to this buzzing sensation? I would love to talk with people that have the cervical SCS. Thank you for reading and hope your day has been wonderful.
