Hi Moira!
I'm so sorry for the reason which brings you here.... 
This is such a great place for support tho. Everyone here is very caring and there's lots of information to be had.
So, you've had your trial and you're a bit leary about getting the permanent. I sure understand! After all, this is a pretty big decision. I looked up your other thread and saw that you mentioned getting approx 65% pain relief. That's pretty good. To be honest, I'm not real familiar with how these SCS's do on bone pain. One thing I DO know is that the stimulation does take some getting used to. The good thing about that is you can change the settings and turn it real low (or off) if it starts to bug you too much. I have to do this from time to time, but in my case it's medication related. When my 3-day pain patch starts to wear off, my skin starts to 'crawl' and the stim really bugs me. Otherwise tho, it's very soothing to me and I wouldn't trade it for the world!
Please stick around and let us know how this unfolds for you. You'll get some good feedback from our friends here.
Caring,
Rae
P.S. Just a thought - you might want to start a new thread so others can see you better, rather than being tagged onto the end of this thread.
