Focusing on the positives for Christmas though- at least I do have one SCS that works for my wrist pain! |
Not sure; but assume you would like to be addressed as Yellow?? Anyway, I have been under the Care of my current Pain Specialist for a few years now; but about 5 months after spinal fusion/laminectomy, (6 years ago) had seen a pain specialist who wanted to do a procedure in hospital (day) to rid any possible scar tissue. Since it was in my opinion, too soon to have anyone mess while I was still attempting to fuse; declined. Also, did not return to that particular doctor.
A few years ago, with my current pain doc, had under light sedation injections in an attempt to lessen my pain. The last procedure he had done was to break up any scar tissue in that area. Don't remember what the procedure was called; but didn't help me. But, the reason I mention this is because there is a procedure that is suppose to break up scar tissue.
Really sorry you are having so many issues. You have a very bright future ahead.
