My lower back. I had already had 2 surgeries there - first time was a bone fusion because I had spondylolistheses and Harrington Rods were new-ish and my surgeons were 'so excited'. That was a disaster: one rod broke in half. The next surgery roughly 10 years later, involved the doctor trying to remove the rods but they were so embedded in bone that he only got out half of one. He then added 6 screws to stabilize things. That didn't help either.

I'm very sorry to hear that the surgeries weren't successful. Perhaps the SCS trial will be helpful to reduce or eliminate the pain. My major problem is pain in my toes from two failed surgeries.
