Hi Snow, I just had my SCS implant done and so far the results have been very good. I have actually been able to reduce some of my meds already. I was diagnosed very late in the disease process, so I did not have much success with the nerve blocks, but this has been the best thing yet. I really can't tell about the back pain yet because of the surgical site pain, but I have not had to wear my brace since the SCS was put in.
