Thanks very much! I'm not familiar with sip/smp...is that like stage 1 vs stages 2-3? I'm still stage 1 with inset 8/08.vAt this point, one of my pain management drs (the one who does my stellate ganglion blocks) is recommending scs. I'm strongly considering it and I'm getting a second opinion in a week or so. Thanks again.
