Re: ANS Spinal Cord Stimulator Problems
Posted by phatkats on 3/06/07

    can you describe for me the pain that you felt. I'm wondering if
    it is the same as I'm experiencing. I'm at a loss as to what I
    should do. The pain is unmanagable and hate to think that the
    stimulator has to be removed after all it took to get it right.

    Thanks - my email address is phatkats@optonline.net if you want
    to communicate directly
