I have commented on SCS elsewhere so sorry about any repeat. My Nevro is making a huge difference. At first I was frustrated and so was jumping around to different settings without waiting the suggested 48 hours between setting changes. Huge mistake! You have to let your body get used to the new settings. By working with the Nevro techs and making slow changes, I can now sit with only a tolerable amount of pain for the first time in years. I get up in the morning with enough energy to actually do the regular ADL’s. I really feel a connection b/t my pain level and energy level. I used to feel my pain almost as a weight dragging me down. This is not in my head. I know that when I was hurrying through changes without waiting 48 hours, I went to the highest setting and the SCS seemed to fail. I went back suddenly to the horrible pain I had prior to SCS. I called Nevro and started back with their guidance to the slow changes and it is absolutely helping SO much. It would be a terrible shame if Medicare quit covering it.

I am on Lyrica and it helps all my pain that comes from arthritis of the spine. But it makes me very, very sleepy.
