I have had it for a year and a half and have already had the battery moved and I am now going to go through a new surgery to move leads and paddle ... I am scared and just need some advice from those of you that know far more about this than I do. I thank you for your time and your kindness...

Welcome to the forum, Tammyray! I don't have any additional advice...I'm a newbie to the SCS world and am 100% an advocate for it, for the right person (to be sure, this is not everyone! That's a conclusion you and your doctor need to arrive together) as I've been blessed with an over 90% (or so) pain relief with my AdaptiveStim unit (Medtronic's newest model).
Just wanted to say, "Howdy" and "Welcome"! You'll find a whole group of very friendly folks here that deeply care about each other. If nothing else you've just been added to some folks' prayer list!
I guess one question that just popped into my ole noggin - what is it you're grapling with that you are seeking advice? If you've had good pain control with the unit in the past then I would assume you're having jitters about the surgery - is that correct?
