Well, I can tell you one thing - you're sure to get plenty of support from our SCSers! I'm sorry to hear your 1st trial didn't go well. Were you able to get any stimulation at all to your rt foot/ankle? Are you going with a different manufacturer this time? I have a Medtronic unit for my RSD in both legs. It does a great job of covering about 70% of the pain.
There are others here with Boston Sci's and are doing real well. There are also others who do have some problems. As you read thru some of the posts, you'll see quite an array of testimonies.

Will the same Dr be doing this implant? I wonder what went wrong the first time that caused so much pain in your back.
Just ask anything and the input will come. Meanwhile, read thru the threads that catch your eye and you can get a pretty good glimpse at what you might expect.

I sure hope this will work for you this time so you can have some control over your pain. Course, the pain is always there, but the SCS will cover over it so hopefully you can have a better quality of life and be able to do the things you've been missing out on.
