I feel for you re. the meds .. I agree, they don't take the pain away. I think the only beneficial one has been paracetamol, and that hits nowhere near .. but as for opiates, well, I believe they only disassociate you from the pain ... be far healthier having a spliff in my opinion.

I think a SCS will certainly help you with the tingling and burning. Someone will be by shortly who has had help re. the cervical spine, am sure !
