[QUOTE="Jaros, post: 391960, member: 1122"] Thanks for asking Manpa. I've had trial lasting 7 days where an electrode is passed up the epidural of the spine and it seemed to work ok for a while. I was called each of the 7 days to see how it was going and I told them, you know on a scale of 1-10 how my pain level was. It was - to me between 4 and 6. So it had improved from 7's and 8's down to as low as 4. Last Monday I had the trial lead removed and was told the pain would return after a cuppla days. [b]It did[/b]. So now I have to wait till 28/4/18 to have the device fully implanted, the electrode up my spine and the control box implanted in one of my bum cheeks. I watched a Youtube video of the implant procedure and it looks pretty straight forward. That's a $3750 out of pocket procedure. I spoke with another patient who was having an implant done using a Boston Tech. implant and he said the Nevro,which I had trialled, didn't work for him. I am seriously thinking of trialling the Boston Tech unit and see how it goes. The video I saw was performed using 2 electrodes and the other patient said he was getting a much better result with the Boston unit after also trialling the Nevro. So I am ringing the Specialist's rooms on Monday and discuss that with them. I don't think that's a bad idea. My wife Carolyn says that I was being "myself" you know cheerful and not whinging as much during the Nevro trial so it did do some work for me. Let's see what the Specialist has to say about trying a different device. Thanks for asking again Manpa. Jaros :Y: [/QUOTE]
