I got a SCS!

Posted by wisco50 @wisco50, Mar 5, 2020

After reading and thinking, talking with other patients, etc., I decided to proceed and had a Pinal Cord Stimulator trial in late December. It was successful and at end of January I had a Medtronics one installed. Still “taking it easy” per surgeon/rep suggestions (bored!). It is most definitely helping! The only reason I have taken a Vicodin tablet at all is if my neck is very painful. (It’s also fused, more surgery recommended but I refuse). It’s like a miracle to me! My real test will be when it is finally garden/yard work season but regardless, I have no regrets at this early point. SO nice to have no leg pain!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Spine Health Support Group.

Good luck to you and hope you get relief also! BTW, I see a typo in mine that says Pinal instead of Spinal. Presume most readers will figure that out? I cannot figure out an edit method.
