I feel for you. You didn't have a bad trial; you had no trial. If they operate to remove the scar tissue, will they then put in the trial or the actual SCS. I hope they go right to the actual because you've tried so many things that failed. Next week I will have my trial. I am rooting for you to have the chance for pain relief. I know what you are going through. Best of luck, Jules!!!

Thanks for your response. I hope to hear how your trial goes. Hopefully and prayerfully, it will be successful. What day are you going and which SCS are you trialing?

Thanks @julkun. If insurance approves the procedure, I will be getting the permanent implant. So, the odds are against me in that regard. Even if approved, there are no guarantees that the neurosurgeon will be able to remove enough scar tissue to get the lead in the sweet spot. Then, there's the question of whether the device will give me any real relief. At this point I can't sweat it. God is in control. I am completely in His hands.
Thanks for your kind words. I hope and pray that your trial is a smashing success.
