Situation 4b: Considering SCS (After Surgery)

About Candidacy

• For my post-surgical pain, is SCS an appropriate option?
• What effect can I expect from SCS? (Is the success rate around 60-80%?)
• Why would SCS be better than reoperation?
• How long after surgery should I wait before considering SCS? (3-6 months?)
• If SCS is not suitable for me, what is the reason?
