Re: ANS Spinal Cord Stimulator Problems
Posted by Kelly on 4/01/07

    I had a SCS implanted last week and they could not get it to work
    properly. The doctors feel it was because of the inflamation from
    the surgery, I go back tomorrow to have it turned on again. Your
    reaction to this makes me so nervous. I wish you luck.
