Oh what a descision...

can't he anchor the leads/electrodes somehow??? so they won't lose contact?
I haven't studied any of this... so not sure of details on how it works.
unless it's similar to how the interferential or TENS stim works on the outside only SCS is implanted very close to the nerves involved??

But-
I guess for myself, if I was in your place - the hope that it would work at least some of the time or even for a short time - I think i would tell him to give it his best shot and hope and pray it will work.

oh I see - HLH - scarred in, makes sense.
