Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 It's too long to type everything, but this is what he says about me. He feels at this time the only realistic options of getting significant pain relief would be either surgical intervention or implantation of a spinal cord stimulator. Due to my spinal stenosis however the only way to get a spinal cord stimulator lead into my upper spine would be to do it with an open laminectomy. He could try to use percutaneous occipital leads for the treatment for my headaches but this would only address one part of my severe pain. So now we are waiting to see what my Neurosurgeon sees in my scan that was done today and see what plan they come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
