Seems strange that the trial gave you relief, but not from the permanent implant. T11-T12 seems a bit high for placement. Where is your pain? How much pain relief did the trial give you? My Medtronics SCS impalnted in 2018 gave about 80% relief in trial, but 50% with permanent implant. Still, along with my meds, I was down to a 2 or 3 most day, which was a wonderful change from the 7- 8 pre-implant. It stopped working in 2021. There was thought that the paddle lead showed several burned out electrodes, and the paddle placement may have moved. I had the whole thing removed back in May. Went smoothly. I am hoping to get a trial of Boston Scientific's Wave rider soon. Have you been able to adjust the setting on your SCS so as to hit different regions in your body? Sometimes it takes numerous adjust ments to hit the "sweet spot". I'll be on the lookout for your response.
