May I suggest three ideas:
First, have an MRI done, if you have not had one.
Second, go to a Neurologisti if you have not, and have an EMG done
Third, with both records in hand, find a Pain Management Doctor.
I have had a SCS in my Lumbar for approximately two years and I m 100% pain free in that area. From time to time, I receive injections and ablations in my Thorax and Cervix. Typically, they free me from pain in those areas from 6-8 months.
I hope this will help you. BTW, I am 80, so I had my SCS implant when I wa 70.

Thanks. Have had all the above done and then some. It's a mystery that has baffled pain specialists (7 or 8) neurologist, Orthopedic surgeons (4 or 5), neurosurgeons ((2(). No MRI can be taken as of today due to a new SCS being implanted two years ago that has an adapter which made it MRI non-friendly. Going to a neurosurgeon on Wednesday to see about getting this current SCS with leads and paddle removed. Then I can finally have an MRI to help reveal what's going on with my back. Appreciate your response.
