- Well, this could prove successful, Jim. Remember, I've got the
- Mercedes version (implanted completely inside my body). But, the
- stimulation DOES go down both my legs! This could work for you and
- it is certainly worth a try. If you'd like to read up on the SCS
- (Spinal Cord Stimulator) before you go for it, then simply freq
- "SCS-LC.zip" from our system through a front-end mailer only. (We
- don't have users.)
