This is the place to do it - mainly because it doesn't go in one ear and out the other, as it does trying to talk to the folks that don't 'get it'.
I can absolutely relate to you (us being up in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT because we can't sleep over this mess!!)

My pain doc is VERY complacent in what he does. He's cocky, insensitive, .....unfortunately he's good at what he does....but he just wants to push these SCS's (spinal cord stimulator) and that's IT. As though they are a dime a dozen. GrrrrRRRR

I did the 5-day trial and we went back and forth

Cocky Doc: WELL, Did it get rid of the pain??
Me: Well, it COVERED OVER the pain.
Cocky Doc: I asked you did it get RID of your PAIN?!
Me: It MASKED the pain!! The pain is STILL THERE
Cocky Doc: You are not answering my QUESTION
Me: The pain is ALWAYS THERE. The SCS only COVERS the pain. I turn the stim OFF and the pain is THERE...i turn the stim ON and the pain is being substituted with TINGLING.
It does NOT get RID of the PAIN. It only COVERS the pain.!
((((((GRRRRRR))))))

Anyway I'm probably gonna get the SCS

But YOU BET i would LOVE for this man to feel this pain for one measly hour.
