I'm considering having my SCS removed, since it hasn't been any help for several years. I'm glad to hear that removal is a piece of cake. My Abbott SCS is MRI compatible, but not all are. Last MRI I couldn't get the thing into MRI mode. When the Abbott rep came to try to figure out what was going on, she found that it would work if I kept trying it in different positions. Sitting, standing, lying down, twisting my body... I wish I had known before that that was a possibility.

I'm trying a new medication, hoping it will be effective.
