Boston Scientific Spinal cord stimulator trial Day 2

Published 2020-10-31
Day 2 was a really good day for me. Not only was I able to comfortably do the things I love to do, I also went for a ride today šŸ˜£ it was NOT good šŸ‘ŽšŸ½ overall I am beginning to see great results. Welcome to my journey as I conduct a trial run of my (external) Boston Scientific Spinal Cord Stimulator.

  • As someone who has a permanent implanted sps I didn't notice anything immediately as in pain relief, I'm 44 years old with a lot of genetic disorders. But in the 4 weeks post op I'm now beginning to notice Improvements. I can walk for 3 km per day where I was basically just paralised a month ago but it also takes massive will power, determination strength, also what I found was hard to accept support from a mental standpoint. This is important.... Accept any of that support Time is also important. Patience is important Learning again is important.

    Hi Ricky thank you for your video series, itā€™s been very interesting and informative. Iā€™ve just started my Nevro trial with a reduction in pain down to about 80precent. Iā€™m so happy I can walk again after being in constant pain for over a year.
  • Thanks so much for making this video. Most of the videos are older and don't give a good idea of how the new stimulators work. I am scheduled to get my trial on next Tuesday. Seeing your day 1 video helps me so much because you actually showed the device. Again thanks.
  • so glad that its helping u i'm praying that it will help me too cause the pain that i get i can't do nothing thank u for shareing this information
  • Iā€™m pending the last resort of the stimulator for my L4-5, S1ā€¦. Iā€™ve gone through the ablation once & May do that again but canā€™t find my doctor. The worst time is when Iā€™m in a vehicle so what you have said is not a good news for me. Iā€™m glad your doing better with it but Iā€™ll keep in mind about the vehicle sitting. Best of luck trulyšŸ‘šŸ»

    Doing my trial Friday. I hope it works. Thank you for sharing, good info.
  • I am happy for you good luck.I need one to try but I donā€™t think my insurance will pay for it.
  • Hello, I have just learned about SCS and will be starting my trial as soon as the Dr can get it set up. (COVID making more things difficult). Anyways, I found your first video and agree everything else I found was at least a year old. I can't seem to find any updates past day 2 and I was wondering how you are doing, if you are moving forward with the permanent implant and if you have any other nuggets of information to share. God Bless.
  • @daddyrich559
    Thx for all the tips I will be watching all your videos and I'm sure I'll have questions I hope you still reply to questions on this subject

    When you say ā€œno feelingā€ do you mean like an epidural where you canā€™t feel anything at all and canā€™t move them?
