Spinal Cord Stimulation for chronic back pain
Spine Health | Last Active: Aug 26 1:07pm | Replies (67)Comment receiving replies
The surgery to implant a SCS has me very concerned. I dont do well with healing, it can take me over 4 yrs for a scar from a minor cut to heal and flatten. The procedure to insert the wires and device sounds invasive to me. Has anyone had ongoing issues with healing and scar and additional pain after receiving the permanent implant ?

I have had SCS implanted over the past year. Both surgeries went well. Minor pain and little swelling. I don't understand why it takes so long for even a minor cut to heal. Have you talked to a hematologist or other medical professional?
