I really like him, but I am not sure how much more he can help me. He does really seem concerned, but I am so complicated Nothing about me is "textbook". I really puzzled him and the St Jude rep with the added pain and pressure in my lower back after this second SCS surgery. This past weekend I had all this additional pain in my right side lower back/hip and down that leg. I could hardly walk. Spreading is the only thing I can think of by the way it feels.

I have had many blocks, they were successful in the past, but not this go around which is why I ended up with both SCS implanted.

Thanks and I wish you luck as well!
