So I saw her on friday and she informed me that there was no other treatments that I could try. Ask I have ever had done was a surgical lumbar sympathectomy, tens unit and this neurontin. I asked about the implant or if she was aware of anything else I can try and she said that I wasn't a good candidate for the implant, with no explanation as to why. Ask she wants to do is put me on more stronger narcotic pain medicine to mask the pain and not try to treat the problem. I'm tired of living life in a drug induced haze that dosnt help with the pain anyway.grrr. Now in on the hunt for a dr who really knows what they are doing. I'm just tired of doctors that say the know something but know far less than I do. Thank you everyone for letting me vent.I hope everyone is well and appreciate all feedback.
