Not that I am recommending this, but when I had my trial leads pulled both times it was very easy. I'm so sorry this isn't working for you.

I have back pain with some of my programs with my permanent. My rep said it was love it or hate it usually with rsd. anyway, hope you start feeling better. Having it not work over a holiday weekend must be terrible. Hope you have low pain. I did have to tinker with my settings a bit during both my trials. Anyway, I hope it looks up for you. Thoughts with you!
