Default Happy to find this thread

I had a SCS permanently implanted on 6/14 for atpypical face pain. What a miracle. I have a pain treatment doctor who is so good at this procedure that he believed that he could get the leads up high enough in my spinal cord to give me relief in my face. He was so right!!

I am slowly working to reduce my meds so that I can find the balance between meds and stimulation. I look forward to a clear mind again.

I had both a neurosurgeon and neurologist doubt that the SCS would be helpful for my face pain. They did not think that the leads could be placed high enough to provide relief.

I am thankful for my blessings and hope that others with this horrible pain can find similar relief.
