its funny that you are from TN thats where i had to go to get the surgery,i live in south florida. I would say if you have no other avenue for pain control i would try it (not an easy surgery) only as a last result until they get better feedback from people lik me. The funny thing is that the pain area is just to the rear and a little lower than the tremor part of the brain
