Spinal Stimulator removal after nine years concerned about potential p

annie1 I’m in the process of getting a SCS for my neck pain from my new pain management team. We tried an ablation on my cervical spine and that didn’t work. I’ve learned to trust my intuition and I’m just not sure about this procedure. It’s been a year since your post so you might not even see this but if you do please tell me what you decided to do for the pain. SCS?
Thanks

Never experienced any positive therapeutic results for the SCS stimulator, which is now more of a burden when receiving MRI's

I did the trial like I said for the narrow for my lumbar stenosis. It didn't really work much I mean maybe 5%, so I decided it wasn't worth it. I eventually had a minimally invasive surgery which is somewhat successful but now I'm having other nerve pain and have to decide what to do again. Apparently the SCS works for some people. You can always try the trial I mean you have to so then you'll see if it'll really do anything for you. I'm looking into a procedure they do in other countries but not here that is not invasive but you have to pay out of pocket it's called disco gel. Mostly for herniated discs.
