    Good luck. You made a big decision not to have the SCS. I'm doing the trial now, and it's more painful than I thought, but my normal pain is gone. Good luck with it all. Have you done the nerve blocks before? Also they have other procedures that use heat or electricity to burn or deaden the nerve, but I don't know much about those things, only that they are out there. Take care and be strong.
