I'm sorry you're having difficulty with your SCS. I have read it can take multiple adjustments before the best one for you is found. My rep says I'll be able to stop the Tramadol 50mg pain meds I take about 3/4 days a week. I really don't like opioid's but I have to quit gritting my teeth and be able to move at some point so.. And I'm suppose to be able to quit Gabapentin and stop the brain fog.
All SCS devices are not the same. There are different types of stimulation; high frequency, low frequency, burst, wave and probably more I didn't research. I had a very successful trial with the Boston WaveWriter and just waiting for approval to have the permanent one.
I hope your rep can get the perfect program for you.
