Hi Carol,
Welcome!! I am also a newbie. Signed it to get more information or helpful hints on the placement and surgery of the SCS. I already did the trial and I talk to the neurosurgeon on Monday December 12th for the date of the surgery. It seems we have all been through the same drill--injections, pills, therapy and on and on and on........ And after years of pain we end up with the SCS. I guess we can just keep reading others experience good or bad and take all the information with us when we see the doctor.
I have received alot of feedback--and a big THANK YOU to Mark and Rrae--you guys rock
