i had a low back injury has several major surgeries all that it left me with was constant burning in my hip and my legs were on fire 24/7...i went in and had the trial scs implanted and while i was on the table my leg pain went away immediately...i suffered with pain, tingling.numbness in my legs for 8 years..i never heard of SCS.till a family member out of state in the medical field said why dont you get a SCS..we had no idea what that was. so we researched it and 3 months later found a doctor that did these and since the day they put it in my back i have no pain in hip of burning down my legs...any one out there that has had nerve pain burning there hips and fire in there legs no that it will make you crazy from the pain..no pill helps the symptoms...no matter how strong the narcotic...But the SCS is a life changing surgery for me i would do it again..to not have leg and hip pain is like winning the lottery....

i have had the low back stimulator since 2006. I had constant
Burning/stabbing unbearable pain in my legs, hips, butt, and back. I had been dealing with this pain since 1999.  Then in 2006 I had the "test trial" Stimulator implanted in low back. I could not believe this was working. I had been on every narcotic out there on ridiculous doses and yet I still Had burning/stabbing.

I cannon say enough good things about my stimulator. I would not no what  to do without it. If you have had leg pain you no how all consuming it can be. To have a surgery that stops the burning and you are in control of how high or low you can have your stimulator is incredible..if you are suffering you don't have to this works. I don't get paid by anyone to say these things, I'm a regular person who suffered for years and years with this debilitating pain, you don't have to suffer anymore.
