@blowerk1216 Ugh, my heart goes out to you, friend. I hope you can find relief soon! And, find some practical things to keep the pain at bay besides. I've had an SCS implant for 3.5 yrs now, and it's been a godsend. It's different for everyone, but I'm crossing all my fingers and toes that the trial (should you decide to pursue) will help you and elicit the relief you desire. The recovery [from the permanent SCS] is long and slow (merely due to restrictions), but totally worth it. Anything else you want to know about it, feel free to ask. 🙂 Best of luck at your appt!!

I saw your response to "blowerk1216" mentioning that you have a SCS implant. That is about the only option remaining for me to deal with arthritis in my lower spine. SPECT scan indicates it is worst at L5-S1 and in the R SI. Nuerosurgeon has suggested the SCS and I hesitated because of nebulous pain in the area of the R hip. I've since had a R hip replacement and the pain is still there, and that which was centered on the hip area is gone. You mention that the recovery from the SCS is long and slow. Can you please elaborate? I'm interested in what I'll be facing if I decide to go the SCS route. Thanks much for your post!
