I went hunting back when I was told I had to have this, too. Didn't stumble onto this forum but did chat with a few folks on another forum about it.
It's just interesting to me how we sometimes react when we're told we're going to be given a very thorough psych eval ... for a surgery! Made me reallllly wonder about what I was getting myself into! Of all things, the fact I had to have this was a big deterrent to me as I just figured if it was that big of a deal that they have to dig into my psyche ... well, let's just say it scared me.
SURE am glad I did it, though. Anyone reading this and doesn't know my short story, let me assure you that I am absolutely a success story for the SCS. Probably close to an 85% pain reduction (overall - some days are as high as near 100% and other days not so much).
