Thanks all. As usual you are all so helpful. A few notes. I am back in MI and so why I am going to Cleveland Clinic. The doctor I am seeing there does many of these a year and works a lot with rsd. I am not sure if my insurance will cover anywhere it is looking not.Marla thank you so much and I hope you continue to feel better. You are awake correct for the surgery? I know the trial is different but if you can get any relief I here the perm will work. A girl I know got the temp but then got one after for 6 months only. The healing process after the perm can you still walk or how long are you suppose to rest and is that the same for the trial?
Silverlady I will check out the spinal forum. I hope you feel better.
Cathie I have heard of those infusions. I have to research more. When I was in Fl there was a doc who did those.
Dshue thanks I was seeing Dr Carden and another doc at Ucla when I lived there but moved back to MI. Good luck to you
I will keep you updated. Each day I change my mind. Just wish this was not a choice I had to make.
