Spinal Cord Stimulator

[AQA]

I have a SCS. I have had since 12-07. I am not back to work. My injury has left me with pemanent nerve damage. I do not regret having it, it helps me get through the day. It helps to the point that I can go to school and pay attention without the pain inteferring. Keep in mind that the SCS is nt a fix all cure. Meaning, even thou I have one I still have to take my meds. I hope that helps.

I to have a SCS. I went back to work with mine. I am currently not working, but my not working has to do with my first WC claim. Does not involve the claim with the SCS. I am still taking a lot of meds. for break thru pain. I have a lot of nerve damage in my back and legs. I spoke to the Ortho yesterday about my SCS, he wanted to know how it was working for me, I let him know that originally I got a warm fuzzy feeling in my legs and back, but that has now turned into a cold freezing feeling in my legs and feet. He said that was from the nerve damage in my back. Only suggestion he had for me was to dress in warmer clothing. I hate layers of clothing, can't wait for summer heat so i can shed clothing and hope to get to a point where I am not constantly freezing all the time. I hate to see my gas bill each month I sit with the fire place on all day to just try and stay warm.
