Should I have the Spinal Cord Stimulator? Looking for reviews on this

Maybe talk with the folks at Boston Scientific or which ever brand is offered to you and ask them who in your area has the best success rate. Then the probe has to be in the right spot. For about 6 weeks after the device is inpanted my friend says that you have to be very careful not to move the probe until it has grown into place. The Bos Sci rep describes my friend's pain doc as the best of the best. I am going to see him this Monday the 20th. I hope he can offer some relief that doesn't use SCS methodology.

He did say that he doesn't believe that I will be a good candidate for SCS or similar therapy so that's out. Looking to try a L5-S1 injection in about a week. Various MRIs have have shown issues at L5-S1, but nobody has actually focused on those. If it works having a shot once or twice a year wouldn't be the worst thing in the worl.
