Thank you so much for sharing your experience with your arm and hand! I truly hope that Work Comp issue regarding your therapy is soon resolved. Work Comp did come through for most of my therapy [ I say most since the balked at a one year pass to wrap up my exercise as we are in negotiations to finish the case] and I had hundreds of sessions over the past six years.
Since part of my case was multiple carpal tunnel releases [I have no cervical SCS for the arm] hand therapy was prescribed and allowed to help regain strength especially in my right arm in which the nerve had died to a significant extent. They will probably come through with therapy post SCS implant for the arm, especially if both your doc and attorney are pushing for action. Here;s hope and prayer that all will be well! Mark56 |

Stressedout,
Thank you for finding my post. Did you have the same results with your permanent scs compared to the trial. My rep said he couldn't make any promises , but during surgery they have more control of the placement of the leads. Do you have the medtronic? I have to make a decision on getting rechargeable batteries and to me that's going to be the toughest decision I'll have to make. Any advice or fore warnings will be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

Hi Showdy,
It's great to hear you are getting some relief from your trial. Hopefully things will move quickly now so you can have a permanent one, it may not be a cure for your problem but if it helps with the pain and helps you get your life back it will all be worth it. Take care and God bless Sophie xxxx |
