Just make sure when you have the trial put in that you get at least 25% pain relief before accepting the real scs. the docs say you should get at least 50% pain releif as time goes on.

i got maybe 10% PAIN RELIEF. and they still wnet ahead with the scs. it made me worse for 3 or 4 months. i wish i could get it out of me. next they want to put a drug pump in but after reading that 50% of patients have no relief after one year of having a scs and 45% with a drug pump, i think i will try hbot first.

my point is to be strong enough person to say no i dont want the scs if you dont get at least 25% PAIN RELIEF. the thing you have going for you is you are still working and i know some people that are still working saying that without the scs they would not be at work.

good luck,

Mike
