Hi Pamela June,

How long did it take to get it tweaked to where you were happy with it?

How does one tell from a "trial" one (that is only in for a short time, without the luxury of all the tweaking), if it will be worth doing the permanent one?

It seems to me that a person might be very discouraged with the short trial since it is not in long enough, nor tweaked enough, to see the benefits that the permanent one "might" afford the patient.

This is just curious questions as I am not contemplating one.

How many different areas can be helped? Arms/hands AND legs/feet ??? It seems to me that since the areas are so far apart on the spine, a device such as an SCS might be limited to just adjacent areas. I guess what I am asking is if an SCS can benefit areas controlled by the thoracic region as well as those in the lumbar region.
