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


Any doctor that would recommend a SCS after being injured for 2 weeks should have his license revoked. I had a St Jude device implanted in June but that was after 18 months of conservative treatment and several ESI's and an RFA procedure. SCS devices help with nerve pain but are ineffective in most cases with low back disk related pain.

Ask your dr what you should do if you ever need a MRI
