It is not a procedure suitable for all patients experiencing pain. Most people report they do benefit from spinal cord stimulation because pain is reduced. The slow return to normal activities is intended to give the spinal cord stimulator leads and incisions time to heal. After the test week, a permanent spinal cord stimulator is implanted if you experience decreased pain. It is left outside the body and carried in a belt pack. It should be noted that a temporary device is implanted first to make sure it will help your pain, but the generator or battery pack is not implanted. Carry the card a doctor will give that says you have an SCS because the device may set off anti-theft devices and metal detectors.Keep bank or credit cards, computer disks, and other digital encoded items away from the stimulator’s control device magnet, or they may be demagnetized.
