Rrae is on target again with her advice about checking out the Spine Forum, and the short answer is "Yep" to your question. Been there, done that along the way somewhere over the last six and a half plus years...... But WOW, that Trap area Really got irritated when I was post-operative discectomy/laminectomy/fusion and trying to move myself around with the upper body..... HAH!! That both felt like I was pulling my body in half, of course I was not, but the muscles were darn irritated from the invasion and the Traps especially my right became way sore.

I gather you are not currently an SCS implantee or your Doc would not be sending you for the MRI study. Anyway Frankie, may all be well with you, indeed!!

Caring lots,
