After reading some great stories about all the activities SCS patients have been able to resume, I really want to know "how" that happens.

Is it that you just aren't in pain anymore?

In my trial, I just kinda had that feeling of when I feel when my phone is vibrating in my pocket - only to realize my phone isn't in my pocket. Only this time it felt like three phones.

When the trial leads were being placed, I had hope that my pain would disappear when the right nerve was stimulated. Instead I could feel not only nerves that I already had surgically cut in a futile effort to get pain relief, but when the nerve where I think most of my pain comes from, I could feel it being stimulated gently, but instead of no pain, it was painful.

Is that what's supposed to happen? Does it get better over time?

Does it kinda rewire the brain so that you don't notice the vibrations - or the pain?

I get my first real programming this afternoon and would live to hear your experience before I go to that appointment.

Thanks!
