So sorry to know it did yet work for you! You are living the very reason I lay awake the night before my stim implant.....because it MIGHT not have worked for me.... That was my fear. At least in my situation fear did not become reality.
Has your doc suggested you just dial down your stim to a very low setting....or turn it off altogether? I was just wondering whether they are trying to eliminate triggers for your additional pain. Hoping things resolve for you. M56 |

Since the trial is not as invasive; especially minus is the pocket/incision for the battery which is taped at the time of trial can really make a big difference with much less pain. Many, who seem to be happy with their SCS deal with issues like spasms, etc. ; but often those issues outweigh the plus they do get from their stimulator. Hopefullly, once all the healing is complete, you will notice some additional relief. Gerry |

My post was in response to "anickstairs" because he had mentioned his trial WAS successful; but the actual implant of the SCS is not giving him the same relief and his pain is much worse. Hope your post surgery pain is getting much less. Take care Buddy. Gerry Last edited by ger715; 08-12-2015 at 11:15 PM. |
