Hi people's,
Am in the trial period of my SCS procedure. Am experiencing a lot of changes in level of stimulation when just moving about. Can be sitting in a chair with level adjusted just fine. Bend my head forward and all stimulation, is all but gone. Tipping my head back will literally light me up. Is this normal ??? My rep says " it is the leads moving about ", and that the permanent install will curtail that once scar tissue locks them in place. They are using the Boston Scientific , unit. Any help would be appreciated.

Boy have you come to the right place!

Welcome!
Here's the link to the SCS/Pain Pump forum here at NT, click on:

What you describe sounds completely normal and it is a bit kooky isn't it!
How many days are you into the trial?
Is it for cervical or lumbar?
Come on over to the SCS forum Hank and we'll 'talk shop'
Start a new thread over there and you'll get aLOT of good feedback

I've had my lumbar SCS for 5 months and love it!

It's good to have you
Rae
