I use the Lidoderm patches to (1) lessen the pain form the skin stretching and the scar and (2) to act as padding so I don't accidentally bump the SCS generator.

For this purpose it works pretty well. I would not say I am pain-free, but it is much better than just being bare.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the welcome. Mike does the scs help you? My pain doc is talking about trying the scs for my pain in Dec 09 after it has been a year from my 3 back surg and 3 back fusion. glad the lidoderm patches help you for your scs. I hope/pray that we all can be pain free one day. mike
