I'm so sorry to hear that you still have pain after the SCS. I am going for a trial use with it but not getting my hopes up. Which one did you have put in ? Do you mind if I ask which narcotics you are in ? I may have to go that route.

Thank you for your response.
I have the Boston Scientific SCS. I’ve had it around two years. I’ve had it adjusted many times, but it never provided any relief. In fact, I always got the feeling I was “bothering” the technicians. After awhile , I just gave up on it.
I WAS on Percocet which did help. My only side effect was an extremely dry mouth - I just drank a lot of water and chewed gum..
I’m going to call Mayo in Rochester on Mon and pray I can get an appointment ASAP. Please pray that I can!
