My PM dr kept pushing the SCS the first few years I had rsd and I said no. I'm with Russell. The thought of anyone messing with my spine which has scoliosis scares the heck out of me.
My PM dr didn't stop giving me the pain meds I need for my rsd though. He gave me options. Either do the SCS or take pain meds. I chose the pain meds.
If I were you I would find another dr who doesn't try to push something on you and threaten to take your meds away if you don't. That is not right to me. My dr never did that to me. Maybe check drs on RSDSA and RSD Hope online to see if you can find a PM dr closer to you. Sometimes a neurologist or GP will help with meds until you find a new PM dr. I wish you luck and don't let anyone pressure you into doing something you do not want to do. And always get second opinions. Take care.
