Oh I did not fine thig group until after my SCS implant...and yes I was lost.

I have the Medtronic Adaptive Stim....implanted 3/2012 for chronic pain L4-L5 9auto accident).

My input would be that you have someone with you for a week if possible...give yourself extra time to heal......six weeks is my feeling; have extra or stronger meds on hand; plan ahead for your food and nutrition...rest...BLAST...understand it is a painful recovery.

in the prayer group now
