The rest of your "I've had it feelings!!" seem like your fustration of your constant pain..and I am really sorry for that fustration.. we relate, I hope this helps you!! Just a thought..

Thank you Kathy
You definitely 'get it'.....
I've had the SCS for a year now and I love that it covers over the maddening burning pain in both legs.
But ever since the one lead had migrated down, that's when the lower back pain presented itself. Since that lead has been removed, I was hoping that would end the 'dagger in the back' issue.....
But it seems to be getting worse and I really wish I could hook up with a doctor who is willing and able to help me identify WHAT this pain is.....sometimes it's a 'burning'....sometimes it's just a deep 'dull' ache....and sometimes it turns into a fullblown flare which becomes acute (as in a 9 on the pain scale)......the 'daggar'
Jo*Mar says it well - it becomes a circle of insanity!!
Questions are bouncing around in my head such as 'is this an RSD-type of spreading thing?? or the nerves being aggravated by the muscle 'spasms'....
When I get back from my 'road trip' I hope to connect with a specialized PT rehab for starters.
Each reply to this plea I've sent out is like a piece of a PIE of 'logic'....and if I put them all together, I think there's an answer in there to be had.
The most frustrating part of it all is that when I seem to get ONE thing 'fixed'...something else goes haywire.
Thanks for your input....it's good to hear from you.....
I hope things are going ok for you
You've always been such an inspiration to me and you were there for me back when I was first getting my SCS.
Forever Grateful
Rae
