Situation 4a: Considering SCS (Before Surgery)

Questions to Ask Your Doctor

Am I a candidate for SCS? (At this stage, before having any surgery?)
What effect can I expect from SCS? (Is the success rate around 50-70%?)
Why would SCS be better than surgery in my case?
How long after conservative treatment (6 months to 2 years?) should I consider SCS?
If SCS is not suitable for me, what is the reason?
