I am pretty leary of that method, but have not done any research on either. I just sounds so extreme and scary. I understand the fear factor for RSD and spreading to the implant site - is that what you are battling? I have a friend w/ it and she has been a great support all these years for me. She understands all this crud that now one else does other than this online group does. I have read some of the SCS threads and am more confused than ever. I just don't know what is right for me. In all rights - my condition should "just go away". Ganglioneuritis is not supposed to stick around. But because we can not find out what the trigger is, the inflammation stays. ugh and double-ugh! I think i will go to the RSD thread and look at the ketamine threads to see what people have experienced - maybe it will help. I appreciate your help. I will also consider getting another pain dr's opinion.
