Hi Ezzl

If you check out this thread: http://www.pudendalhope.info/forum/view ... ?f=33&t=73 you will read about my experience with a Stimulator.
Where have you had your Trial? What level of the spine have they put in the leads? Which type of Stimulator are they proposing for you?
I wish you the best of luck with your implantation.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask me.
PNE started 2003 following Vaginal Hysterectomy, pelvic floor repair and right oophorectomy; eventually after many tests had BilateralTG surgery Nantes 2004; following this tried many other treatments including 7 day epidural, ketamin infusions to no avail; Trialed and was implanted with a Neurostimulator in 2007- Dr Van Buyten Belgium, this has enabled me to manage my pain much better.

Hi Amanda,

The leads were placed at the bottom of my spine. The stimulator is called precision plus. From Boston scientific .
