Maybe I should see a neurologist in addition to the pain doctor to help me with these decisions. It looks like the approval for payment did not happen in time, so I think the test appointment will be pushed back.

I see a lot of bad rap about the actual surgical implant, but not much about the test. Have any of you done the SCS test? Tell me about your experience with that, because that is what is next on the menu for me.

This has to be one of the worst possible things that can happen to a person... I have so much pain in my upper thigh and back now, it has definitely spread and it is just too much to handle sometimes... it's like your pain tolerance is forced to go up through days and days of nerve pain beatings, but at the same time, the affected areas become more and more sensitive, touching one area causes a chain reaction in the whole string... not fun.
