Thank you so much for your reply. It's good to hear that SCS really worked for you and that you would have a second one implanted. I seem to not respond to EPIs so I hope the Pain Clinic doctors will let me try the SCS. May you continue to have good relief and be able to do as well as you do dealing with so many difficulties.

@suzfuse46 thank you for the kind words. I saw your post about your SCS. I do feel that Drs push this device on too many patients, especially ones that really DON’T need it (IMO/a good friend had this happen to her) I do occasionally have pain in the battery area, it’s sometimes because of clothing, but not always. My advice to others, don’t let anyone talk you into a surgery you aren’t comfortable with and definitely do your research. I have peripheral neuropathy as well as radiculopathy with so many symptoms (drop foot, burning, numbness, tingling, etc). I think the SCS does a good job distracting my brain from some of these symptoms. Clearly you’ve been through a lot. I wish you all the best and again thank you for your kind words.
