Confused Test SCS coverage are

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your friendship and on-going support. Today is day four of my Test SCS and what a difference it makes. It has reduces my pain in most places by approximately 60-65%. The target area is left hand, arm, shoulder, throughout my neck area. For the most part I had good coverage in my hand, arm, some times in right arm, some times on high, some times low, sometimes on shoulder. Have any of you had this type of problem? Does it go away with the Permanet Stimulator? The unit we are using is a Medtronic and my Test SCS is scheduled to be removed tomorrow (she will be missed).

Also, I only had one program to work with but, that’s ok, I look forward to trying out multiple programs the future. I am hoping to have my Permanent SCS implanted in January.
