ok.....whew!......this is incredibly intense!
I saw your photo's on your profile page, the post surgical films......
MAN!

You have aLOT of hardware in that spine of yours.
Oh Lord, if only a hug could just simply cure everything......

I went back and read your first post when you joined NT.
That terrible accident. At first your docs said the SCS was NOT a good option for you....then another doctor said maybe it WOULD be a good option.

I'm wondering (especially after what just happened!) if maybe a pain pump would be a better avenue for you? I would run this by your doctor and see what he has to say? I know that alot of Drs (mine included) aren't too keen on the pumps because....well, as my 'cocky' doctor said, "We'd have to be 'MARRIED' to each other" .......in layman's terms, of course, he is talking about the commitment involved with the pump (refills)......

Just curious as to how you'd feel about this option? It's possible it could be a much simpler way to go.......it would give you constant meds directly via your dorsal column and you wouldn't have to feel the 'mental fog' of taking these meds orally....

Take it EASY ok! Don't feel the need to have to answer......
I can't imagine what frame of mind you must be in....

We're here for you
