@faithwalker Renee, Oh my goodness! Thanks for your suggestions. My DRG definitely has continuous programming, BUT the ABBOTT guy always sets it when I am standing. It is when I am sitting, or laying down, that I have problems!!!! He obviously needs to set when I lay down!!! And I spend most of my time either sitting or laying. Why didn't the ABBOTT guy think of this? I have told him many times that I am ok when I walk, but I feel electricity sitting or laying. Man, you have more sense than my ABBOTT guy. We as patients, don' know, what we don't know!!!! I swear, girl, you should get paid for your knowledge!!!! As far as inflammation in my back, I would assume I have it, because the pain when sitting got too intense to sit down. Electric butt!! I will insist on a SED rate to measure inflammation, and have the stimulator programmed laying down. God Bless you, Renee.
