Re: Re: Question for the group bk to Jinny

[Guest guest]

Hi Jinny,

 Welcome to the group. I am . I am one of the moderators. I don't have the

same one you have. I have Medtronic. But I was told my battery should last about

5-7 yrs.I have had mine since Feb 08, so only a little over a year. I have to

say I still get fairly good relief with mine. Sure I have had many

adjustments,,, Like Sue  said, Your Rep will be your best friend.. Always keep

their # close... I had called mine and Jay will meet me just about anytime.. Hes

great !  There have been times that mine wasn't getting all the way to my feet

and Jay would do some adjustments... there's been a time that I wasn't getting

much relief,, he adjusted it.. They are able to do so much with that little

computer ,,lol...

    As far as pain meds go,,, The PM Dr I was seeing thought the same way as

yours.. They seem to think that since we have a scs that we don't need any thing

else.. Well they are wrong. Mine took me off of Lyrica.. Boy was I in pain,,

then went to the ER and he threw a fit... Well 2 days later I left his

practice...He never did give me much for pain.. he was a jerk...

 Well I hope someone can help you.. There are so many wonderful people in this

group. I'm sure some one will have some ideas for you...

 Take care and keep in touch,, Please let us know how your doing.. And once

again,, Welcome !!

 soft hugs
