Hello, I am posting in hopes that my husband and I can get more testimonials regarding the spinal cord stimulator. My husband has been on the trial for almost a week (coming off on Tuesday) and so far he seems to like the effect it has on him. I am just somewhat worried about having the implanted SPS permanently. I want to think positive but also want to know the reality of it once the procedure is completed. Are there people out there who can truly say that the SPS has really worked for them? Please help us on making our decision easier. Thank you .

Can we start with this: What exactly would you say your concerns are? From your message you have a lot of questions perhaps turmoil surrounding this so let's deal with that and see if we can help both of you. For the record I've had my SCS now for 2.5 years...and love it!

Hi Caligirl,
While you are making the list of concerns Andy suggests you draw up, I would advise you to read through a few of the Threads here about Member's personal Journeys from Implant to Success or Failure. You will learn a great deal from their experiences - as they unfolded. Dave.
