Kristy hopefully you find all your answers to your questions here. There are so many people here who have had the SCS implanted and like the results, don't like the reults or on the fence. I am one that is on the fence right now. I had the implant in January and had a revision done at the end of April. I still don't know if this was the correct choice for me?? I still feel pain when the stimulator is on. I guess I just need to keep going back for alot of tweeking. I'm not giving up but I am getting a little discouraged. Good luck with your SCS and all I pray that it takes the pain away!! Living it pain all the time really makes me ..... Anyway welcome to this forum and good luck to you.
