I haven't been here for a while. Still dealing with EXTREME pain every day in back and ribs. It has been recommended that I have my SCS taken out. Am also being told I never should've had it put in. Was originall told that stimulator was only course of treatment for entrapped nerve in hip. Now being told that I probably don't have an entrapped nerve because they are very rare and found in very overweight people. Has anyone out there suffered as I have and has anyone out there had their SCS taken out? If so, how difficult of a surgery was it to have it removed? Thank you!
