I have a appointment Monday to see if I can get the SCS and still I am reading about the difference in how people had had with each , the pain pump and the scs and then I really get confused.
I have read that if you get the scs horse riding will be out , that is one thing I hope to get back to doing , as for my wife and I used to train horses together and I used to go on calls with her on horses being sick or down very interesting by the way.
I miss my kids activities and going to church sometimes I get to go to the 11-12 sometimes but cant push through the pain for all.
For as the horses we lost the first horse we got a few years ago and this past year she bought me a new one "trying to help with my therapy" and I really want to ride her on a trail ride with the family.
I know according to my past doctors nothing is going to fix the problem but I was hoping that one of these was going to allow me to return to some what of a life I used to have.I know by what I read that this is why the trial is a part of it but being that we have gone through 175,000.00 in the past three years all of the savings have depleted and as they do you seem to be really looking at what will be the best long term solution for yourself and your family as if the stress wasn't enough.It seems both are very costly and I don't know if insurance will pay for it but it seems that the pump cost more in the long term.I am going to discuss all of this with the new doctor Monday and I really want to thank all of you for your information about both as in both of them it seems to be very complicated with what kind of out come you may experience.I really hope all of you get the relief you are searching for and am very grateful to God and the doctors for the ones that have received a more painless life because I understand there is a shadow in your heart when you live in pain that no one understands.The stress and emotions alone change a person.For be it I am one that has had may changes in the way I look a things.But it all still confuses me though.
