Default Trial started :)
Hi everyone! I'm home resting after trial implant. My left side went pretty well, but I guess the prior fusion area gave my doctor a bit of trouble, and me alot of pain getting the leads inserted, and had to push on my back numerous times. I'm pretty sore, but I'm glad its in, and bussing away. There is only one program that covers the left side well. I'll share more when I am at my computer. Thank you for the prayers and support.

Heart Go Viv
Give that insertion soreness a couple of days to abate, and if you were prescribed any additional pain med, do remember what your doc said about staying on top of pain. Prayin here regarding the progression of your Trial and that you can surely determine whether the stim is a viable pain management tool!!!

Hopes up here,

Cool Your trial
Hi Viv,

I bet you're happy to have it over, well relieved I'd say, hopefully it will work for you now. Like Mark said you're going to be sore at the insertion point, it would be unusual not to have some soreness.

Let us know how you get on over the next couple of days.

All the best

Sinéad xxxx

Take it easy !! I only had a one day trial .. I wish I'd had longer to be honest.
