I also have 3 programs that are working all the time. I have 2 in my left arm and 1 in my right arm. Because of where the leads ended up, I do have chest wall stimulation too. So, that's kindof annoying sometimes.

For me, posture is huge. I mean huge. If I slump, I get a singe. Putting on socks and shoes is also a challenge when I've just charged - because I'm looking down and my spine isn't straight. I can go about 2 weeks before I need to charge. Probably because I'm down so low. When I'm in pain, I just slouch my back down and look down or to the left and I use that singe to take the pain away. So, you can use those to your advantage too... I absolutely feel that if it was in my legs, I would have different settings.

Can you tell me a little bit about your back? Do you have RSD in your back or do you have back problems? Was that a result of the SCS? Just wondering as I'm having those issues now.

Thank you.
