Thank you so much for this input. The rep for Boston Scientific is out of town for the next week so I can't ask her any questions but when she gets back on Nov. 4th. I have tons of questions for her. Do you have any idea where your thoracic pain was coming from? They can't find anything wrong with my thoracic spine that would require surgery. I have had 3 cervical surgeries and 3 lumbar surgeries in the past but there were definite issues with my spine that called for surgery in those areas. I have had severe pain in the thoracic area for the past 6 years and have had every procedure possible (other than surgery) and nothing else had helped. Two neurosurgeons, two spinal surgeons and several pain specialists have recommended the SCS as the only alternative.
