Day 3 proceeded smoothly with lots of activity. My wonderful daughter treated me to a much needed mani-pedi. My hair may look like crap, but at least I have clean legs, pretty toes and fingers. An hour and a half of grocery shopping followed with the assistance of my handsome husband. I can't lift, twist or do anything strenuous, so he insisted that I point and click. (Typical computer geek)
The SCS seems to ward off the majority of the pain during the day with the stimulation set fairly low. Periodically I did lay down in order to crank it up so that it would be felt higher in the neck region. Hmmm
OK, Night three was a disaster. The pain in my neck and shoulders was a 9 on the Richter scale of pain and the SC did not touch it. Nothing I tried helped so I relented and took 10 mg of Norco and an Ambien. Finally slumber came to me.
