Re: ANS Spinal Cord Stimulator Issues
Posted by Moni J. on 7/24/06

    Hi I am also a candidate for the ANS spinal cord stimulator.
    I had a trail in March 2006. The trail was not successful
    because the lead became didplaced the second day. I was told
    it happens during the trail and not with the permanent
    implant.I am having a second trial on August 2,2006. We will
    see if it works, then I can have the surgery for the permanent
    one. I am very concerned beacuse I am not aware of many people
    who have had the stimulator and the info given by ANS is not
    detailed enough. So if you wish to share your experiece and
    information please respond.
