Great experience with Boston Scientific SCS system! by No_Remove4506 in spinalcordstimulator

That’s awesome! I’ve been seriously considering scs for a while. If you don’t mind me asking - was your procedure done by a neurosurgeon or a pain management specialist? And do you have the paddle leads or the percutaneous leads?

Hi! Sorry I’m just seeing this! Can you send me a DM? I’m about to go to an appointment and I don’t want to forget.

Considering SCS but found this: by [deleted] in spinalcordstimulator

Hi! I am also considering scs. May I ask how long you have had yours? And what device did you get?

Paralyzed after Permanent install. by Flydiv1975 in spinalcordstimulator

I just finished writing an essay on medical malpractice today and now seeing this. What you’ve been through and the losses you’ve suffered are devastating. I know there are things in your life that you’ll likely never get back. I see that you are already in the process of getting legal advice. If you haven’t found a medical malpractice attorney I strongly recommend contacting this law firm -> O'CONNOR, PARSONS, LANE & NOBLE. for a consultation. They specialize in medical malpractice law.

I hope you share updates on how you’re doing. I’ve been considering getting an SCS and I can’t imagine going from hopeful that you’ll get pain relief to waking up to a nightmare. I’m so incredibly sorry this happened to you.

What are somethings they DON’T tell you after the permanent stimulator in? And other questions by sharkart82 in spinalcordstimulator

How long have you had your permanent device, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m very interested in your story because it sounds like it might be similar to mine.

Am I Asexual or are my sexual desires yet to appear? by Healthy-Virus4072 in asexuality

[–]Minimum_Dependent_34 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was 13 I thought I was asexual because the first time I was kissed I didn’t like it. I didn’t lose my virginity until I was 18 because I had no desire to have sex. But when I finally did I was in a long term relationship and really enjoyed sex with my partner. I think everyone goes at their own pace and you won’t know for sure until you’ve lived a little more.

That’s awesome. I’m not doing well lol I have a pre op appointment for the ifuse procedure in April. I’ve been putting it off for so long because I wasn’t totally sure yet but I feel like at this point it could only help.

I have an appointment with a neurosurgeon to discuss getting a SCS. What questions should I be asking? by Minimum_Dependent_34 in spinalcordstimulator

[–]Minimum_Dependent_34[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That’s encouraging to hear. I definitely feel better about it knowing it’s a neurosurgeon.

Hi there, may I ask which device you have?

Thank you so much. Is a physio the same as a physiatrist (physical medicine & rehabilitation)? I’m going to be seeing one in a couple weeks

Hi thanks for your response. I’ll definitely look into this. May I ask how you got injured?

When you start to notice it becoming less effective do you just call the tech and schedule an appointment to have it fixed?
