albrown, you definitely do not want your dr pressuring you into ANY treatment without researching it and being comfortable with YOUR decision.

There are many of us SCS users on here who have experienced great success, including myself. If you are confident in your dr and this is the only option being offered to you, ask him/her why. Your dr might have his/her reasons for wanting this option for you. Just because a dr recommends this as your best option doesn't always mean that he is looking at you as a money making opportunity...not all drs are like that.

Everyone is different in what works for them and you really need to ask questions about all of your options before deciding on any treatment. The good thing about SCS is that you can have a trial to see if it may help you. Not everyone has successful trials, mine was great.

I made a list of realistic questions for my dr and he took the time to answer everything, until I was comfortable with my decision.

I wish you the best of luck and relief for your pain.
