@faithwalker Hi Renee, Could you tell me what "Shock" and "Continuous" even mean in terms of the DRG stimulator? God, I do not know much about my programming. I only know that I have been given 4 programs since my implant in July. I go to my Pain Doc, and the ABBOTT rep is there at the same time. The ABBOTT guy generally adjusts one lead at a time to a point where I no longer feel electric impulses, and then tends to lower it down more, at least 2 notches. I then go home and see how it feels, and find myself lowering and lowering the electricity, one notch at a time. I live with my adjustment a few days, and within the last month, could not seem to get rid of electric sensations in my butt cheeks and shins, primarily. It got to a point that I could not sit down, and shut it off completely. The whole experience has been grueling, but I too, have about 20-30% pain relief, for sure. So far, with the machine off, the pain relief continues. It just got to a point that I could not tolerate the electric sensations. Fun, fun. I would not wish this on my worst enemy, of which I have none. Thanks again, Renee. LoriRenee1
