Or it may be what the dr. said or implied..the bottom line is we are never with out hope or intervention..our greatest determent is money and the lack of medical knowledge, and Dr.'s... the hop in our hearts and determination far our exceeds the support, medically that we receive..thankgoodness we have eachother to clearify and bounce our sad, ill hopeless feelings off eachother..as lets face it..we have a huge painful monkey on our backs..and we can't shake it..no matter how we try...it's going to be ok..one day at a time and please... never give up hope on trying..as our lives are priceless and we only get one shot at it..so do your best as well we all should..and when you are at a loss..come to us..just don't ever feel you are out of options!!

Oh I AM SO SORRY! I am going to correct what I meant on my post. I meant I agree with the other poster that the doc who made that statement to you is wrong. That is why I went to explain how I was told what you were about the scs but did not do the scs and ended up trying less invasive and was given other options in treatment. I agree we can never give up hope.I know a girl who it took trying many different treatments but she is in a really good place now with her rsd and back to living life. I am so sorry again. I have had lack of sleep for many days in a row and high pain. I have to proof read.
