Hi
I was suggested the SCS by I think metronics? I got a couple of opinions and did a lot of research. With the couple opinions I got a couple different alternative suggestions. I know a couple people who have had a SCS one lady with PN had 2 and then got those removed and just last week or so got a pump. When I was at Cleveland Clinic they said the pump is the last procedure they want to do after everything else has been done.
I feel everyone is different and it is a personal choice. I do feel some doctors push these procedures because of $ yet some do benefit but some have major problems. So it is important to get a couple opinions and do a lot of research. For me the risk of the condition spreading to the implant site and causing more pain was too high. Plus it seems the leads,battery,etc cause problems. I do know a girl who has benefited from the SCS but she has RSD. The lady though with 2 did not so went on to the pump. More with rsd seem to get it I notice then PN. I could be wrong though
I hope what ever you decide you get relief.
