Bilye,
I am glad to hear that there will be more testing done. I went through the same things. And, yes, too graphic to state here as well as discussing the PT.

But, honestly, if Mayo is saying there is issues, I would try this specialized therapy FIRST before resorting to a SCS. I know, I am in pain too with the spinal bit and neuropathy. But as for all this other, the pelvic floor PT was the best thing I ever did. I just don't know much too much about the SCS' other than what people have said about them on the spinal boards. But everyone is different. I would really just do the research first which I am sure you will.
