If the cause isn't treatable, you may need to see a pain management specialist. They may have multiple options to treat the pain. That would include the use of a SCS - but that's pretty invasive and kind of a "last resort" in my opinion.

Definitely caused by the procedure. The Neurologist said someone "missed something". Something was "nicked" during the surgery.
My new Neurologist says that there is nothing surgically that can be done. He's the kind of guy who won't do any surgery unless absolutely necessary. And he's the one who is suggesting the trial SCS. And yes- it's probably my last resort, also. But doing the trial is only a 5-7 day deal to see if it'll help.
The pain and burning is getting worse and I need to figure something out.
What kind of options do pain specialists give you?
