SCS is recommended by dr Wise Young

"For temporary relief of the neuropathic pain that he is having, he should consider low-dose amitryptyline (Elavil 20 mg/day). If this is not effective, he should try gabapentin (Neurontin). Note that most people tend ot accomodate to gabapentin and higher doses may be necessary but hopefully the pain will subside.

Another treatment that Nick may want to consider if the drugs don't work is electrical stimulation (usually with electrodes placed over the spinal cord). "
