Hi Moira,

Welcome! I'm also new and waiting for the trial, which starts a week from tomorrow (the 24th). Thanks so much for posting. You brought up a question that I've had, too. I am SO hoping that this will be the answer to some of my pain and will provide opportunities for me to do some things that I haven't been able to do for quite some time, like go for walks and play music with my bluegrass buddies. At this point I'm starting to get kind of nervous about the whole thing!

I'm thinking that if this has helped you to be more active so far and has giving you some decent relief, that's a GOOD thing! Maybe as time goes on you will get used to the sensations from the SCS and it will become more tolerable. The good thing about this treatment is that if you really hate it, you can always just have the implant removed.

Hang in there....you are in my prayers!
Jan
