Also my doctor is debating on giving me an Epidural Catheter(Tunneled) too, so if you have any advice for me, I would love to hear it.

Since I am only 17 my mom is against both, so I am trying to convince her they are okay, but all I can find on the Catheter is that it gives most people an infection so...can anyone prove this wrong?

Thank you :]
Hi there, this recent study might help some.

"Spinal cord stimulation in adolescents with complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS-I)"

I hope you are doing well, please keep us updated.
hugs,
Sandra
