Hi Debi

I have the SCS in my lumbar region, so cant answer about arms, neck , shoulders....

My areas of pain are my lower back, my bum, and down both legs....

I get relief in my legs while Im standing and walking around, but it doesnt reach up to my back....I was told at the start that the SCS is very good for neuropathic pain in the legs as opposed to the back. However, when I have it turned up HIGH and Im lying down I do get some relief in my lower back, but obviously I cant be lying down all the time. But I would have about 60% relief from pain too. I have it about 2 years now and certainly wouldnt be without it.

You WILL miss the trial.....be prepared! but at least you know you will be getting the permanent one in January......

Good luck

Jackie
