I apologize for starting this contriversial posting. All I was simply asking for was input from people who have a similiar condition as mine or have gone through the SCS Trial or Perm. Implant. I didn't ask for political views, accussations againist my doctor (who noen of you have met), or to be put down that I have not educated myself by researching all of the risks before agreeing to have the procedure done. I have been researching RSD and treatment options for almost 3 years. I have seen multiple doctors and have tried multiple procedures, all of which have left me in the same situation I am in now. In pain, limited, and on a boatload of medications.

Again, all I was asking for was information about your experiences. I don't know how this turned into such a different direction.

For all of you who have repeatedly said that SCS is a terrible idea (even the trial) and I should be looking at other options.... WELL, what are the options? Speak up. If I'm making such a poor descision, then provide an alternative. Provide a different solution. Cause all I'm hearing is, posts putting me down and putting words in my mouth. If you know so much more than me, then provide a better solution.

I'm scheduled for my trial tomorrow, a decision that took me months to come to terms with, and now I'm 2nd guessing myself. I have participated in many healthboards since getting RSD and this is by far the most disappointing one I have ever been on. I thought the intention was to support others and share experiences. Not shove YOUR thoughts and opinions down others throats.

To those of you who have been very helpful with your feedback, I apologize for this message. I'm just beyond frusturated that I let un-constructive people get in my head and allow me to 2nd guess myself the day before.
