Vanna- Presently, I am doing a workup precedent to SCS implant of the ANS EON unit and I have not found many posts speaking directly to this unit from St Judes Medical. You are one of them, would you be willing to embellish your experience report, helping us with information regarding your implant date, your recovery experience, satisfaction with program tweaking, pros and cons of working with the St Judes representatives, ultimate pain reduction range and the like? I know I ask much, but as I approach setting a surgery date, the more information the better for me and for others on the forum if you are willing.

Thank you VERY much,
Mark56

kicked my leg forward. It would shock me too when I would change from standing to laying down.

After 11 months I went to my other spinal doctor and during another spinal surgery I ask him to take it out. he did, and that was the end of my problems. I won't tell you what to do. Everyone has to make up their own mind about that.
