I need a spinal cord stimulator put in.Have stenosis at T10-11. Should I ask doctor to go from T9 down which is harder to get wires in?
I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome- uncommon neurological condition. Pain - levels 7-8 - in left foot and knee. Yet in my history thoracic back surgery causing stenosis at T10-11. Usually wires for stimulator go from T10-to destination of T8. Should I ask for more difficult insertion from T6 down to T8 so wires don’t get involved with stenosis. Worried about stenosis and paralysis
