I'm really praying for you that your rep. will help you find relief for your lower back as well as the relief you're getting in your legs. Hopefully you won't have to give up some relief in your legs to get better back coverage.

Even though these SCS units are great, they can only do so much...I guess that's why they say 50% improvement and not 100% improvement. Some folks need to stay on some amount of pain meds., even after the SCS is installed, for a while as it can take some time to scar in permanently, and during this "waiting" period nerves can react differently to different settings or even the same settings. Good luck!
