Spinal Cord Stimulator

Hey Y'all. 


Long time, no see!


I don't want to write a novel, I ramble..


I want to know if any of you have a spinal cord stimulator and if so, your experience.


I got the "trial" done on 8/12


It was a bad experience and I got zero relief. My leads moved way down, but didn't know that until day 6 of the 6 day trial. I won't go into detail, but I absolutely feel like I wasn't treated correctly. 


I just want to know if anyone has had a good experience. Thank you in advance.

If you go to the green bar at the top of this page and click on the search button next to the envelope, then write Spinal Cord Stimulator in the search box, it will bring up many past posts.

Not sure if any of them are relevant to your probem but ya never know.

God Bless

I worked with pain patients for almost 10 years now.
From what I saw, only about 1/4 of the patients had success with SCS.
The obese that have them usually need constant adjustments.
Some patients have excellent relief and really love them.

I''m trying to think of someone that might still be around but I can't off the top of my head. We used to have several in this group. Most of the people who'd had SCS didn't get enough relief from it, not for what they had to go through, And they still had to take meds on top of them.

If you think something was off with your Trial, I'd get a 2nd opinion.
