There is another thing ... called a Dorsal root Ganglion http://www.dovepress.com/getfile.php?fileID=12054

It's a little like a scs but based lower down as they cannot get into my back any more.

I am seeing the surgeon on Thursday so will see what he says. It's a VERY new operation and they don't know the long term effects .. i.e. I would be a guinea pig .. weeep weeeep.

I'm open to anything at the moment.
