Thank you all for you input. I have been resting and pretty much doing nothing during the past month since my surgery. Too much surgery pain! I unfortunately was unable to test drive this for a trial because when they tried to feed the lead into my cervical area, they could not do so and my surgeon didnt want to force it and cause more damage. So, we had no way of knowing how my body would react to the permanent implant.

I am seeing my rep on Thursday. It is just making my already bad pain worse. My hands burn worse when it is on no matter what the stim level is set at. I am so disappointed. However I am hoping it just needs to be reprogrammed.

Again, I truly appreciate your input.

Hi and welcome.......this does sound like a programming issue. See your rep and do some tweaking and take it from there. It's amazing when it works well!!!!!! Keep us updated how your apt goes

Goodness,there are times when I am irritable or tired or whathaveyou and the stim will be just one more aggravation I don't want to handle, or can't handle with its "happy buzz" so I turn down the signal to the point where it is just doing its job, but not adding to the cacaphony which is irritation.

Just a thought,

Yes Mark totally agree too. It's the best in the world but can also be the worst if you let it .........but wouldn't be without it either

Happy New Year Mark and to Chloe and family
