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...
