Re: Pain Dr appt



Dear Deb,

Good lord. This has taken a long time if memory serves me right, it's been
at least 3 or 4 months if not longer, hasn't it? What was the hold up? I
know they tried "tuning" it with the present placement, but they should have
never moved the leads to begin with. Is Medtronics that backed up getting
techs out? This kind of delay is unacceptable and someone owes you some
answers.

Just my 2 cents--og

Finally called my Pain Dr and saw him and the Medtronic guy about my feet
this morning. The lead is too high, anatomically, so I am not getting good
coverage for my feet. Pretty soon I will go in, have my lead moved for
better left side coverage and get another lead so I can get good coverage
on my right foot too. Now it's mostly just my left foot that feels the
stim at all. I feel pretty positive that this will help. The trial stim
and the beginning of this one were so good.

Cross your fingers!!
