Beth, I'm so sorry to hear this.

It just seems so 'experimental'... the reason why I won't consider a SCS implant (yet). I can understand wanting even a partial relief of pain, but to have muscle cut into (implant at hip) and wires inserted that can dislodge, too scary for me. I'd not have the procedure. And not only because of the fear of the big let-down if the procedure didn't work, just the stress of being 'knocked out' after having had so many other procedures. Then the RSD issue... oh my honey, I'd be too scared.

Regarding the adhesions, did you not have an EMG-C8 nerve root test done? I've had 3. Could there be adhesions there from this procedure?

Anne
