hi, my name is Sarah I am 34 years old, i am new to this site. i had a spinal cord stimulator implant put in september 22nd, 2011. It has been now 8 weeks. My history is that i had in 2005, a L5 laminctomy and was left with nerve damage in my right foot, l5 s1. i have been living in constant pain!
The SCS coverage is amazing for my leg and back pain, i have managed to wean off all my meds. The only problem im having is that I'm suffering severe motion sickness from the stim. we have tried reprogramming 3 times. The doctor and St Jude rep keep saying its because the stomach nerves are getting pulled into the leads. we reprogramed today two new frequencies and i am hoping that this will stop the nausea. Now that i can finally walk more then 2 city blocks i cant imagine how i have lived 6 years without the implant. If anyone has experienced nausea as a SCS side effect please write back. thank you. |
