Slowly but surely.... Oh, and I'm just going to forget that when my wife and I just tested the charger that it never located the battery pack in my upper buttocks. It damn well better be residual swelling (believe me, I called my guy at Boston Scientific immediately), because I cannot handle another surgery!

  • I am supposed to do the trial this month. I'm afraid. I didn;t know there were any other trans guys on here that are having this surgery. Mine is for leg pain. I have been on Oxycontin and Dilaudid for a long time. Was it worth it?

  • @tayllor2900 if the trial works for you and you're approved for the implant, then yeah, go for it, it's worth it. but know that for me, at 6+ weeks post op i am very frustrated and wrestle with scs and parasthesia everyday. when they say it takes at least 6 months for all scar tissue to form to hold everything in place and to get the program settings close to being tweaked, they really, really mean it, and i'm not the most patient person. i'll talk to you about it anytime you want.
