Scs ?'s again
Hi. I am planning on getting a scs. I had really not wanted to do this but also would like a better quality of life. Anyhow my apt is on Wed for the consult again this is at Cleveland but I was told at ucla when I lived there to do it. My major pain is in my inner ankle/foot/calf and spread to other leg. Anyhow I have my list of ?'s to ask and many concerns. A huge concern is it making me worse or damaging my back where the leads are. I am super sensitive and even a small bump to my leg can send the pain up for days. Anyhow anyone who has this is there any ?'s you found helpful to ask to make the final choice or things you wish you would have known before doing it?Also I have worked so hard to get to the mobility I do have. I used to be in bed full days and now I can take a 20 min walk or do errands. My pain is still high though and obviously still limiting. My concern is I know after you need to be careful something like 3 months after the procedure. I take 1 day off now and I feel like it is so hard to get back to doing more. So are there major limitations after and since I live on an upstairs apt meaning lots of stairs will that be ok or no?Of course if I knew it would make me better in the long run I would be happy to be still but my fear is that I will go back to being in bed again from lack of use.Did you do extreme pt after?Thanks for any input and advice from people who have done it good and bad please.
