Hi there! I can understand your difficulty in making your decision, been there! As you may already know, I had two SCS's implanted at the same time in June 2011. SCS will not prevent spread, it is only to help manage your pain. Some folks had spread because of the implant surgery, I am not one of them. I have had spread since my SCS's, but the SCS's had nothing to do with it. Spread was from new injuries, etc.

I cannot say anything about Calmare Therapy, I have not experienced it and have read mixed reviews on it.

I wish you the best of luck in your decision making, it is tough!
