Re: Spinal Cord Stimulator

More | Report Post

I posted earlier that I had the ANS, but when I went to look
at the box it all came in, I realized it was actually the
Advanced Bionics. As I mentioned in my earlier post, my trial
went really wrong and since then, things have worsened. Its
been 2 weeks since the trial was inserted and 10 days since
they removed everything, and the pain is more incredible each
day. The Dr.'s PA is seeing me on Thursday, to look at my
back. In the area that the leads were placed, there are 2 hard
bunmps (which feel like bone spurs sticking out, or
something). If I learn more on Thursday, I will post it.
