Default SCS not for me

Here is my thought.

I went to my hand Dr. 4 months back to see about having joint surgery to my thumb on my left hand. She said that now that I have been DX with crpsII she feels that this is to evasive and will cause my crpsII to spread over to that hand.

Now having a SCS implanted is evasive as it gets as far as I am concerned. But my PM Dr. is more then willing to do this surgery without a second thought. If one surgery that would make my life better for me as far as getting the left hand thumb joint replaced should not be done why is it O.K. to do the SCS surgery.

I will take my time and changes with not doing the SCS implant because once done anything that needs to be looked at by a MRI cannot be done so you are left with having more unneeded surgery's therefore causing more spreading of the rsd/crps. I hope this is making sense to everyone.

I am going to go to the Mayo Clinic to see what other options I have to help with my nerve pain.
