So I am getting more confused as the days go on and I see my PM doctor tomorrow who wanted me to try the SCS implant. It hasent changed my pain hardly at all and they say it should reduce my pain by 50%. My foot isent as swollen, but when I walk and sit for too long it swells right back up. So I don't know what else my PM can do for me. Does anyone know what his next step may be? I want to get a second opinion before I agree to a permanent implant, the permanent scs would be as a last resort. I have heard mixed responses from quite a few people and I am not sold on it. Plus living in NY where it snows and is cold that dosen't help my pain at all, and I am afraid to leave the house for fear of falling. I use a cane and I have started to use a walker when needed (which I never thought I would use at such a young age,so it took a lot for me to even set my hands on one)I'm on aim if anyone wants to tak and share. My screen name on aim is duckygal818. Thanks!
