When my pm dr wanted me to get a SCS and I was afraid because of spread from my rsd so I went to my gp and neurologist for second and third opinion and they said the chance of it helping was small and the chance of an infection occurring from it could aggravate my rsd and cause a whole host of other health problems for me. They also told me that this procedure was a very expensive procedure (somewhere around $50,000 and that they wondered sometimes if drs do it for the money they make off of it. I decided not to do it because of that. My point is, maybe just get those extra opinions from other drs to make sure it will help you if you decide to do it. Also check healthgrades on drs online to check out their backgrounds, possible malpractice suits and other patient reviews as well as what insurance they accept. Good luck and take care. I hope you find an answer and feel better soon.
