You do not have to resign yourself to the fact that the only thing left for you is the SCS. Who says it is? Until you have searched fully for other options, to your own satisfaction, I wouldn't go for the SCS. Don't let anyone push you into something that you really don't (yet) want. Don't do anything unless it is fully your choice. But I doubt you will convince them otherwise. That's why you have to become really proactive and search out other options, opinions, doctors.

Are there any other doctors you can go see for second, third opinions, ... ?

It is *your* body.

Never forget that. You have to live with whatever consequences. Not anyone else. That is why you have to stand behind every choice *you* make.
