Did you get the dcs? If so, if you had success with it could you give

me some pointers?

I don't know how long I have had mine, sure some of the people remember all I

had to go through to get it, maybe 4 months now. I have some other very serious

problem come up that needs taking care of, but as soon as I can get it done the

stimulation device is coming out. It works every now and then, but in between

times it also causes pain.

I have had a dorsal column stimulator in for maybe 6 or 7 yrs. Mine

was put in by a Neurosergon. It does help and now the newer ones have

batteries that last for about ten years. Which is nice because the

older ones batteries would die in less than a year. The new ones have

a charger so you can recharge the battery at home. I think you should

have the procedure done it will most likely help you.

I hope I answered well enough for you.
