ASK YOUR DOCTOR
SCS therapy has helped many people, but you must be willing to share information
with your doctor for best results. You should have the name and phone number of
your doctor and/or healthcare professional (technician) handy at home and at work,
so that you can get in touch with him or her quickly if need be. Tell your family and
individuals close to you about your Senza system in the event that they will ever have
to speak for you.
Contact your doctor at once if:
• You feel unusual pain or discomfort during stimulation. (Turn stimulation OFF
at once.)
• The implant site is swollen, reddened, irritated, tender, or painful.
• You experience any unusual symptoms that you think may be related to the
device.
If you have a medical emergency, do not call your doctor. Call 911 and seek
emergency help.
Ask your doctor or other healthcare professional for help if you have trouble with any
of the following:
• Using the Remote Control
• Using the Trial Stimulator
• Charging the IPG
• Charging the Charger
• Changing batteries
• Understanding how to increase/decrease stimulation strength
Discuss with your doctor changes in your condition and how you are responding to
therapy.
