I never had pain around the "generator" area. Mine was more in the back & legs. The SCS doesn't work worth a darn for the back. It's basically for the legs. If you have THAT beat, then you're in good shape.

Like I said, ask for the other patches & have them adjust your meds. Maybe that will help you. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
