Jewells,

Complicated is right...I say I'm strange - my Drs say no, I'm special, like that makes it better somehow! Can't believe a test I needed to confirm a dx prior to surgery 2 years ago could prevent a successful SCS surgery now - the irony is killing me.

Thanks for the reply. I will discuss whatever options exist with my Dr this week, wish I knew how much scar matter one nerve root EMG may have laid down and how big of a problem it is to get leads past it.

Guess what I'm really wishing for more than anything is that somehow, someway, the SCS surgery will work for me - it just HAS to.
