Hi Val, I am so sorry you are having so much pain. what stuck out for me in your thread is the fact that you are not even healed from your surgery. Those back surgeries can take months or up to a year to heal as well as some of the nerves that go with it. You stated you had nine injections, is that since your surgery? If that being the case isn't that like putting salt on an open wound. Early intervention is crucial for this illness, but your doctors need to get on the same page. And then to add the SCS implanted! You need to get your pain under control and allow your body time to heal from the surgery. I don't know if this helps, but you have a lot of business going on with your body right now. Do take the time you need to heal so you can make the proper choice. God Bless
