Scott,
Thanks for the reply... Hopefully others will post their experience with
SCS. I'm going through all the preliminary proceedures shortly but haven't
made any decission yet.

I had a spinal stimulator for the control of my right leg RSD pain.
The sensation thatI got from the unit was like my leg had fallen
asleep.
You know, that tinggly sensation when you try to move.
It worked verywell for the first 6 months.
Then the sensation became very painful almost. It was like pain and
the
sensation you have a very bad itch and can't scratch it.
I am not trying to change you mind.
You have to try any thing and every thing to get some what of a normal
life again.
I wish you the best of luck and hope it will be a life changing
decision.
There is a person I work with and his back pain was reduced so much
that he can walk with out a cane.

Just wondering, did they try to adjust the unit at all after it became
painful? what you are describing sounds like something that could probably
be adjusted. The units will need minor adjustments from time to time.
