Hey TK! So sorry you are having so much pain. As I am sure your doctor and rep told you, the SCS is not guaranteed to give 100% pain relief, the goal for them is a minimum of 50% pain reduction which is still pretty great. If you are not receiving effective coverage or are having discomfort with the stimulation, you need to schedule a reprogramming session right away. I would also call your doctor and move your appt up, there is no need to continue suffering this much. If this dr is not taking your pain seriously, then you need to find another dr. Your dr needs to also check those incision sites to make sure there is not infection or something else going on there.

You are in my prayers!
