Re: SCS or DRG
I’ve had a DRG since December 2018. It was successful reducing continuous, sharp, tortuous pain. Then I was able to address the secondary issue of pelvic muscle dysfunction with much better results. My DRG leads are placed at L1 and S2. The L1 lead requires many loops to connect the lead to the batt...

Re: I’ve found relief and want to share how I got here
I’m still getting relief with my DRG. Been off oxy since Feb 8. I still get some pain with sitting and physical activity, but it’s “blunted,” not like the horrible, relentless pinching I had before.
