Sorry to read you had to have it removed after giving it such a try. Thank you for your bravery and willingness to share your history with us here, as Sarah is trying to prepare for an important decision making process herself.

I had to have it removed after 6 months, which is no picnic. I had thought all along the SCS was approved for the back. Goes to show you what i know. LOL. Hugs, Lee  |
