This is my very first thread~~yea me!! I have been reading the logs about the SCS and how successful or unsuccessful whatever the case may be. I just wanted to thank everyone for their true comments about the procedure. I have had the trial-didn't really like it, but I thinking the real stimulator once it's in place will help me. I see the doctor on Monday December 12th to get more information. As I posted before does anyone have any helpful tips of what to ask the doctor? I have multiple surgeries which I ended up finally with a fusion on my C2-C6 and L4-S1. That sciatic nerve just won't settle down which brings me to have pain all the time. Thank you for this site~~I do find myself reading and searching more comments all the time.
