Thanks so much guys for your caring and thoughtful responses. You sa- aa aasummed it up exactly correctly: I do feel cornered. I don't feel emotionally ready for an SCS just yet. I feel like its a big emotional and physical and financial commitment that I'm not quite ready to take on. Hh Yes, this pain controls my life. It has taken away my life, for all intents and purposes. Between the back pain and the foot pain I am literally shut in my house. Not working right now. Yet I don't feel ready to give up just yet, as I'm only 5 months into my pain management journey.
Thanks again guys.
