Very, very pleased I chose to have the trial and eventually the final implant. 6years without medication is an awesome result.
Awesome, awesome, awesome!!

Thanks everyone!

Thanks Mark56, my ongoing experience with my spinal cord stimulator is testimony in itself that these indeed help chronic pain.

After being told I'd be in a wheelchair within a year, there is always other avenues to explore.

Never give up, always look up, move forward.

Have a blessed day everyone!

Default update

Well I am about to receive my new battery, this one has an accelerometer in it which will limit the shocking experience whilst changing positions.
Surgery is set for July 11th, 2013.
The Medtronic rep was amazing, re-programmed my existing battery to cover more areas which have developed over time.
Hoping the new battery lasts as long as this one did.
Very happy customer/client.
