Many times your oral meds are reduced too, but you still have to take some.

I'd surely go for the pump rather than the stimulator. I had the SCS at one time, but had to have it taken out due to problems. then I had the trial for the pump, but because I'm small they said i couldn't have it because the pump was too big for me. At least it was at that time ~ perhaps the pumps are smaller now, I don't know. But ask your doctor about it. It gave ME total relief, and i'm not kidding!!! i didn't have any pain at all during my trial, and I have SEVERE lumbar pain.

Best of luck and God bless. Hugs, Lee
