I have seen spinal cord stimulation give great relief to many, many patients. And, if someone chooses to go that route Medtronic iffers the only FDA approved MRI capable lead.
To the OP, get evaluated by a neurosurgeon. If you fail all conservative treatment and your quality of life is severely affected, only then should explore surgical options (you will probably get better with time) And get a second opinion if they recommend surgery.

I apologize. I thought it was about getting relief from pain even after getting a spinal epidural.

Two weeks ago I hurt my back and ended up getting a spinal steroid epidural but I am still in massive pain. I was told by the ortho that my options are rest, another spinal epidural, or surgery. I have a lot of sciatic pain, especially when I first wake up. I assume he is going to refer me to a neurologist, does anyone have a recommendation of one in Baton Rouge.
