Smile SCS trial day #1

After a nasty ski accident 2 + years ago, I damaged my brachial plexus and spinal cord. Recurrent spinal cord contusions lead to a strange whole body crps predominantly in lower legs, but also upper back and face. Still with brachial plexopathy. My legs are the weak spot. After reading mark56 and Rae's posts, decided to go for it. Have been walking 3 miles a day, swimming, and working full time with night work. No drugs - brutal. Can't do my job on them. Enough was enough. Stimulator totally covers legs. Amazing. No allodynia or deep pain. Just paresthesias - strange feeling, but better than the crps burn. Was able to stand for several hours today and not feel any substantial pain. Not good as new & don't see myself big mountain skiing anytime soon, but i feel like I might be able to do much more with this thing. Thanks for the inspiration!
