Thanks Mary and everyone. Well I had my shrink eval yesterday and he thought I would be a great fit for an scs. The funny thing was that I happened to be just down the hall from the Pm guy with all the scs posters on the wall. I have to admit his office looked a little more professional. I did ask him about the pain pump and he told me they are way too much up keep for you. He must have seen the look on my face because he immediately says well the option is up to you but I still highly recommend a scs. We decided to push the trial back another week to have more time to think about this. I know this really isn't my last option, but by talking to any of these guys they make it sound like it's 2012 or something. Does anyone know what the permanent restrictions are for a scs? I guess what I am really asking is what kind of life are you left with when the implant is all healed. Thanx Krank
