SCS Implanted
Hi Sunshine Girl,
I had the SCS implanted in November of last year. Mine did cost about $55,000 and I also have BCBS. My insurance covered 100%.
I would get another opinion. I wouldn't jump to conclusions that she's just trying to get money out of you.
Secondly, I've had no issues because of the stimulator. It's definitely a life-changing decision and it takes about 6-8 months to fully heal. I was back to work in 3 weeks after the implant. My RSD has not spread.
Please remember that it is very individual. I'm thankful that I've had no problems and can say that I'm a success story. I know there are many out there that have had problems. Good luck to you.
