Hello my name is Mandy.
My sympathy goes to you and others that are like us "living in pain and with not many appealing options for treatment"

If I was in your shoes I'd try the SCS especially if you can test drive haha

(My Pain mgmt Dr. offered me a trial run for 7days which sounded like it was great and then he reviewd my patient file again 1 week before my scheduled trial and said I wasnt a candiate because of my severe allergy to nickle.. the leads that touch your spinal nerve tissue are NICKLE so I am in hopes that the Medtronic manafacturing company would make copperwired leads in the nearfuture and other pain relieving devices to be made with materials or to have optional selections for people like me that are allergic to Latex and Nickle..

My qwik story:
I got injured on the job 2012
2014 got dianosed Permanently disabled
I got permenant RSD and CRPS Nerve damage

So yeah
I have tried all the B.S meds and Ten's and
tried therapy and so far..
a heavy dose of Lyrica is keeping me feeling more human again (but only after i weened from the Rx muscle relaxers i was told to take with it) the dizzy icky feelings i had was the clash of the cocktail lol

I also have to wait and deal with all the B.S from my work insurance because they are still #$%^! and drag ___ on treatments and filing the RFA's paperwork..


Stay strong and Never give up!!
Mandy~
