anyone have a spinal cord stim ?

[metronycguy]

i have my trial version of ANS scs renew system.
it seem everyytime i change my body position the coverage and intensity changes, i need to arch my lumbar backwards to get it to work, same with seated position. i need to arch my shoulders back to make contact, in the operating room it had good coverage on my left leg and some coverage of my left foot(the painful foot) once they had me in the recovery room , i had more unwanted coverage of my right foot and right leg , so much so that it hard for me to tell if i have decent coverage of the damaged leg/foot due to the coverage beeing so uncomfortable on the unwanted side..
i have a feeling the trial will have to be redone, since this is too uncomfortable.

I had one for a year. No help, even with the position revised three times.

Hope it works better for you.

There's a fungus among us, and I'm not lichen it!

i had the trial removed today, it seems it moved from the insertion and testing in the operating room to the recovery room. i had the coverage way to strong in the wrong leg, but still it did help so hopefully in a month i will have the permanet installed
