Theresa.....

You need to find a new PM Doctor right away! Only you and you alone can decide what is inplanted in your body!! Do not allow this PM bully you into having any implant! That is so unethecal(sp?). You should report hem to your state medical boars. Neither can he/she refuse to treat you unless you have another Doctor that will take over your care. That is also unethecal(sp?)and he/she can be reported to your state's medicalboard.

I would NEVER allow this Doctor to implant a SCS in me! It is obvious they know nothing about a SCS. The SCS will not get you offpain meds If it reduces your pain by 50% it is considered a success. I have not read where anyone has had their pain reduced by 100%!!

I am not bashing an SCS because they are great for pain relief. I am bashing your Doctor. People who have an SCS and it works for them love them. They do not work for everyone, it did not work for me but they DO work for most people.

You can't have an MRI with an SCS implant. An MRI will do ugly things to the leads that are attachedto your spine.

I guess everyone on here are drug seekers because we all are looking for relief from our chronic pain. If it takes drugs to help us...then so be it!!

This kind of threat makes me think this Doctor would not treat your BT pain.

Run as fast asyou can away from this quack!!

Best of luck to you.

I am not a Doctor but I do watch House and Doc Martin on TV.

Never give up HOPE..June 18,2010 I had a pain pump implant....I now free of pain.

My thoughts and opinions are just that, my thoughts and my opinions, based on my experiances.
