I have had 2 microdiscectomies and an L4-5 fusion, and I still have back pain. I'm hoping an SCS helps me. Where was your pain, and what fusions did you have?

I had an L4-5 fusion that ended up causing chronic L5 nerve damage. The third neurosurgeon said I might be a candidate for stimulator. I had one installed. You have to be patient. It took six months to get the thing programmed and tweaked perfect for me and it has made a lot of difference. I wish you the best.
