I have similiar situation. Have had two failed cervical surgeries and have chronic pain in neck and arm. Tried everything (nerve blocks, etc) and my doctor says the only thing that is going to help is a spinal cord stimulator. My insurance company says the procedure hasn't proven to be effective for cervial.
Was wondering if you have had any luck getting approval. My doctor says to get my company HR involved with doctor's backing and that may be the only way insurance company will listen.
Good luck
