Hi I went to a program at Cleveland Clinic. It was a Mon thru Fri 8 hours a day pain program. It consisted of therapy individual and group. Ocupational and physical therapy.They did not do treatments and no meds were aloud for as needed pain. They did do meds like neurontin etc. When I went it was after 6 months of this and my pain was too high so they sent me to the anestesolgist and were going to implant the TEC. I chose not to at that time. For many I saw at the program which I could not relate to but they were there to get off narcotics. So for me even if I did get the TEC I was not going back to the program but was going to work one on one. I looked into Mayo which had a similar program. For some though I can see where it could be a benfit though I did not feel it was individualized enough.
Kim good luck with the scs and the rest of the program and research
