@heisenberg34 I see your post is from 2023 but curious how things have changed since. I also live in Delaware and after (what I feel) is failed spinal fusion surgery, I'm considering a SCS or pain pump. May I ask who was your doctor? Mine is Dr. Pawan Rastogi at Delaware Neurological Surgeons in Wilmington, I appreciate any guidance you can provide, Hopefully your pain is manageable now.

@bab1008 My SCS worked well. My pain was dropped down to about a 2 from a 7. For so reason it just stopped working in 2021. It was thought that the paddle lead had a bunch of electrodes that that had shorted out. I had may a pain pump implanted three years ago. It gave me just one day of good relief in three years. I tried to have a trial of Boston Scientific's wavewriter in September of 2014. They could not get the lead in the sweet spot due to scar tissue. So, here I am still in pain. My next move is medical marijuana. Good luck with your pain journey.
