Hi. I had been suggested the scs but due to the block and infusion causin an increase in my pain I did not. The pump was suggested as one of the last things to try. I am not sure why. Like bobber said the pump would be something that may help if your pain is in the brain vs spine. If it is in the brain then the scs may not work. I may be getting this screwed up and I have been explained it many times but still am a little lost. Have you had any other procedures like blocks and also have tried different combos of meds? This should be the starting point.
