Jan,
I had spine fusion about 5 1/2 years ago. Still have pain; but unfortunately, the narcotics did a job on "issues" which cause a couple of surgeries. Developed the PN after the other surgeries. But.....I did have a failed trial SCS. My doctor wanted me to try again; but, like you, decided this might not be for me.

I still come here anyway. Most of us have had fusion and deal with the pain, as well as thoughts of the SCS are always out there. Rae is right, you really are a bright glow of sunshine.
