I have been waiting for this post. HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY! I'm glad you found a doctor you feel meets your needs. I have never said I would not try an SCS just not now. I am not in as much pain or have as much spread as you do. If I did I think a SCS would become an option. If you decide to go through with it I so hope the trial is successful and it all works well for you. The new med is interesting too. Thanks for sharing your news. ~mac
