Welcome aboard, mate~

I babbled a bit over on your introductory post in the New Member forum.
I'm SO glad you've found this forum. It's truly amazing to me how people from all over the world have been able to connect here regarding the pain we suffer and the common ground which leads us to discussions on SCS....something that few people in general even know about.

It's great that you are able to give the SCS a trial run.
This will give you an idea if it is something you want to pursue. These units are notorious for relieving lower extremity pain due to nerve damage, such as Mark and myself. I too am fortunate to get stimulation to my lower back also. But, like Saffy says, sometimes it isn't possible to achieve the stim in the back area. Each trial is unique to the person

The most important thing IMO, is how much confidence you have in your doctor, and has he done many of these implants.

Do stick around and let us know how this unfolds for you. We truly care and we'll be here every step of the way!

Caring,
Rae


.....btw, I am in shock that the military gives you no support after what you've been thru and the service to your country
