Thanks for the replies. I checked Chronic Pain but no one's home there yet.
Really strange how some forums are up and running and others are empty, guess it's a matter of which forums had members who had other members' email addresses. Wish there was a better way of letting people know this site is here!

I have done some checking for cached pages as well, and looked around other sites, and know the SCS doesn't work out for everyone, but have to hope I will be one of the success stories. My Dr has had very good luck with this unit. And I'm running out of options, you know?

Mark, that is a terrible thing to have happen to you when the SCS was working so well! I'm sorry they weren't able to make it work for you again following the second surgery - that must have been really frustrating and upsetting! My dh will be my designated driver, and you can be sure I will be making him drive v-e-r-y carefully!

Appreciate the good wishes!
