hello everyone...delighted to find so many opinions on this subject. I had my scs implanted in March of 2012,,,yes it works for me although the pain from the surgery side effects is worse that the pain that I had it implanted to releive. I am on twice the pain meds. I had to return to work 10 days post op and work for another 5 months until I was able to leave that job...I think I may have torn stiches..the pain was unbearable between my shoulder blades. I have not worked now in 4 weeks so I am getting stronger with less pain. I would so like to talk to others who have had the unit taken out...I do feel like mybody is rejecting it....
As with others I have seen on this site...my doctors have truly been little help and I am seeking a new one. I would NOT reccommend a scs based on my experience. Great to be here Johanna |
