@michaydney no doctor has much of a clue for me some say do a spine stim some say absolutely not because the surgery alone would create scar tissue which worsens my issue as surgery and injcetions caused this to happen. There is no cure and even the fee specialists in the country admit “you are screwed” im sure its a similar vibe with you. I also belive spine stims (although some people feel they help) are a huge money grab for doctors to bill insurance, and are used as excuse to dismiss chronic pain pateints suffering without meds and many patients who have already gone through failed surgeries now feel pressued into this SCS surgery. The FDA just this week published a study its rather informative.
