I thought I'd do a follow up for anyone that read my earlier input and my problems with trying to get relief for pain in my feet with the SCS.
After my first failure of the Dr. not being able to get stimulation in my feet after putting in the trial we decided to try it again by going down in the lumbar area. Well we did that and once again we could not get the tingling in the foot area without turning it way up. Of course, when turning it up that high it also stimulated my legs and rear end to an unacceptable degree. The doctor was/is at a loss as to why because I know for a fact that he has done many, many of these without this kind of result although he typically doesn't use this for neuropathy pain. I am in no way advocating that the SCS system is not worth doing. Certainly not because of my situation. I guess if the pain is strickly in your feet though it might be good idea to do quite a bit of home work before proceeding. If I ever do try this again I will probably go to, maybe the Cleveland Clinic or Mayo. Just wanted to pass this along with thanks to those of you were of such a big help. - Lonnie
