I think you want to see what Lost Mary has been writing in regards to the Pain Pump vs. the SCS.

Some people have good experiences with their SCS and some definitely don't it seems. I don't know if it's fair that your doc isn't giving you more of a chance to make an educated choice. Sounds like he is forcing it on you...do you have a personsal care physician that can write your pain meds for a while until you can find another doc?

Its reputed that docs can make big commissions off the sale of the SCS from the manufacturers, and therefore aren't independent when it comes to making a recommendation for whether or not they are really in the best interests of their patients. So be really really careful.

Sorry that you are going through this. Please take care and keep us posted.
