Hi

I have so many questions regarding SCS....
Can someone help me???

I know everyone responses differently, but I am trying to get as much information as I can.

What is the trial like?

How long can a person have the trial until the permanent implant is done?

What happens if you find out after the permanent SCS is implanted that it isn't what you had expected, do they remove it?

Do the batteries go bad, do they leak? Do the leads pull or break?

Do you still need pain medication?

When going into stores do you have to turn off the SCS due to the alarm security system?

If you forget to turn off the SCS does it mess up the programming with it?

Are there any other options besides the SCS? (She has many problems with medications as well.)
Sorry for all questions....I am going to be asking my daughter's doctor all these and more as they pop into my head, I'd really like to hear from people who have or had the SCS.

Thanks for helping..
My daughter gave me her account information (she is not feeling good, she is quite ill with the rsd along with her other health problems) I'm logged into my her account, looking for all the help I can for her.
Thanks again
