spread
Sorry to hear about that spread. I know that the dr still doesn't believe mine spread to the other arm...he is putting me through all the horrible tests again just to make sure (bone scan, EMG, etc...) Why is it that they don't believe us when we know our bodies better then they do! As a peds nurse I always told the parents that they knew their child better than I did and if something seemed off to let me know. Wish all dr would take up that theory. I even told him it was all the same symptoms!
I am sad to hear that this means a harder time for you but I guess it is better to know then not. I didn't know that a morphine pump was an option over the scs...is it harder to get them to do than and scs as far a approval? I think I would be more up for it too. I did talk to a scs rep. and he said that they are getting smaller and smaller. He also said that he knew a guy who water skis every morning with his scs and has never had a problem. I guess the big issue is letting it heal enough that your body forms a scar around the electrodes to keep it in place.
Hope all goes better for you....you're in my thoughts!
