Hello Everyone,

Here is a bit of my report from a Neurosurgeon who worked with Hicks MD. Who most of you know is a top RSD DOC at Cleveland Clinic.

NOV. 3, 2005

This is an unfortunate 47 year old female who sounds like she developed radiclular arm pain and then neuropathic pain. She was DX as having RSD or complex pain disorder type 2.

ETC.. ETC.. ETC..

He again states:

I would recoomend that she see a pain MGT. specialists for this. If possiable, she could be referred to a neurosurgeon who specializew in pain mgt. who could consider doing something like a dorsal column stimulator or a trial for
this. I will try to send her to one of the pain mgt. specialists locally to see if they have anything else to off her.

To complete her work-up I recommend she get flexion extension cervical spine x rays.



My point being before I would have SCS I consulted with some top DOCS. They said no way, I was a bad canditate for that procedure. I believe we need to get several opinions at times. I am not MD shopping I am fed up with tablets. I want a MD who knows how to help me. So I can at least drive my Jaguar out of the driveway. Hugs, Roz
