I went through all of the interviews with the Mayo and gave them my medical records. They called yesterday and said I am not a candidate for surgery. This is because of scar tissue. They said that by going in and doing surgery they would risk making my pain worse than it already is. I am very disappointed to say the least since I have been pursuing this for almost a year with 4 different neurosurgeons and numerous tests. Finally someone explained to me the reasons behind their decision instead of just walking in the room saying no and walking right out the door. Still thinking about the neurostimulator but just haven't heard enough good feedback on it to make a decision. The good has to outweigh the bad.
