We are a friendly lot here, and are happy you are now looking to have information. You see, information is helpful in order to overcome the heebie geenbies of the un-informed. I originally arrived here because I was among the UN, and looking for information because I, too, was a bit frightened.
Stick a computer in me for the purpose of electro-shock and just leave it there and hope it will work and what if it didn't and and and........ I felt in a word, overwhelmed. You see, since my car wreck in 2005, I have now been through the operating room 34 times in the humpty dumpty process of reassembling me. You see, part of the process has been the very successful implant of SCS technology to control lumbar and leg pain non-medicinally. It WORKED and WORKS EVEN NOW, so on the continuum of patients who have experience with SCS, I am among those in the VERY HAPPY category.
Now Pooh, who greeted you along with Eva, did not tell you, but she works among the medical community as one of those Brave Souls who nurse patients to health, and being a three time recipient of SCS technology over time, she brings an informed perspective while sharing her thoughts of the blessing of SCS. She is one cool friend! Eva? She is a Very Hard working devoted supporter of the pain filled as she knows it from overwhelming personal experience, and having her among us is Blessing Filled.
Questions? Ask them!! We reply. Reading? There is a lot in the stickie thread about Boston Scientific Mini Rechargeable also known as the Precision Plus System one would find in my spine IF I would allow them an up close and personal inspection. Even so, I have a definite willingness to reply to questions you may have about any of that which you face. This is one of my callings if you will.
So, WELCOME, and may you find over the next days a means to feel less fearful of coming events. I know I will try to help you in any way I may.
Prayin for ya,
Mark56
