Best I can suggest is be in touch with your rep, because they surely should have given you their phone number so you could be in touch in case a TWEAK of the programs they gave you might provide that beneficial relief you had hoped for your trial. My rep gave me their numbers and I did talk to them during the trial. You might give that a go.
May all be well,  |
I didn't get a pain diary. And my rep will call me tomorrow. It is hard because of the holiday weekend. I tried calling my doctor, but he was rude and of no use. Said there is nothing we can do for you. I will for sure tell my rep all of this tomorrow when he calls to see what he has to say. My biggest concern is how much my back hurts. I can't do anything to even try out the SCS with different things....going to store, walking, ya know? I have never been able to keep things in my body. I had to have the screws removed from both my ankles because my body rejected them. So I am wondering if maybe that is what is happening?
