Just a update on my neurostimulator....had it removed on tuesday afternoon and still in a lot of pain and discomfort. Having to take pain med's because I can't get comfortable at all. The pain is so discomfortable. Still using back brace when I have to do a lot of bending. Today I'm going to just sit back and relax and just do some rountine walking exercise and see if that helps. I realized the neurostimulator is not for me.

Any one out there have a failed trail?

I'm sorry your trial did not go well, but happy you gave it a chance. Now you know this is not an option for you and can move on to other arenas to help control your pain.

I do hate that you are suffering and wish you a speedy recovery. It only takes a few days to get over the soreness of removal.....normally.

I wish you my best!

The SCS is not for everyone and we have had others that did not get the relief they needed in order to have a successful trial. Try to take it easy until you are feeling better, hopefully it will not be long before you do feel better.

Take care & keep us posted....Susie

Thanks for all the feed back. Going to see the doctor again on the 16th. Will see what else is out there. It may be at the time that I will just have to live with it. Who knows?

Keeping the faith. Thanks again!
