I've checked with a couple of people that i know that have implants, and it doesn't look like that's the answer. If you have any other info to share please do. Most people can't begin to imagine how difficult it is or how painful it can be. Best of luck to you. |

I felt the same way about SCS, but after the trial I found that it would work for me, 65/45 was my guess A trial is a trial, If you are like me I will try anything once, I understand the pain, I think everyone at this site does !!!

I've had my scs since 2003. I've had 8 back surgery's and 2 two scs surgerys. If it wasn't for the scs, I wouldn't be able to walk, work or exercise. Unfortunately I now have the Thoracic problems with disc, which this unit does not help. Mine controls both legs, and lower back. The arachnoiditis I suffer from is almost painless, unless I totally over due it, due to the scs. If I don't have it on, withing 1 hour I"m in a level 10 pain. So yes, this unit is wonderful.

Hi,
I had a pain stimulator implant in 2008 and it worked great for the targeted area for a while. I recently had everything taken out so MRI's could be done and then they put a new IPG with paddles in the epidural space. Because the new paddles didn't work for my migraines and neck pain, they did help my shoulder and limbs, I had a modification to treat two more areas. With the new areas the battery isn't working as expected so the relief is minimal. Now they are playing with programming and if that doesn't work I may need either a second small battery or a replacement to a bigger battery like the one I had in the first place. While looking for answers I see the company that makes my stimulator is having big problems. I trusted them because they did a good job the first time and the rep. is awesome but I should have done my research, they were bought out a few years ago and seem to have continuous problems (search FDA recalls before you pick). |
