HI! Welcome back.

I agree w/ Spike and Catra that you need to gather a lot of information before making the decision. It's a difficult enough decision for those of us that do not have the complex medical history that you have. I would suggest talking to more than surgeons because many surgeons want to do surgery. Maybe include the opinion of a neurologist, trusted PCP or another doc you trust. I have made the decision no for now on the SCS. Something may happen in the future that changes my mind, but for now not worth the risk. I have had two different pain management specialists want to do the trial. I will try it only after all less invasive options are exhausted. For what it's worth~mama mac
