I am sorry it did not work for jnd2023. I had SCS put in March of this year. I am fused from S! to T5 and I have little pain. I have stiffness and tightness in my para-spinal when I do not work my program. There were many adjustments and I am mostly pain-free. I work hard to keep my muscles alive by working with a trainer using bands, balls, rollers, and deep massages.. I am a firm believer that one should keep a routine of movement to keep the area loose. and supple.
