Hi, My name is Tammy and I am new to this site. I had some questions about my spinalcord stimulator. I have had the simulator for a year and a half and have already had the battery moved and now I am not getting coverage in lower legs and most of the time not even in my lower back where I need it the most. I have had it go up as far as my upper back and into my ribs but after many, many reprogamming attemps my surgeron wants to move the leads and paddle around.. I trust him with my life and will do what he thinks is best but I was hoping that someone could give me some info on what I have to look forward to.. When my unit works I love it but right now I am in alot of fear and I am not the type to give up.. Oh by the way, I had my first surgery 10 years ago and untill the stimulator I was in pain all that time.. Please advise me if you have the time and kindness to ease my mind. Thank you all for your time
