Sadly, after my lumbar blocks, my pm had passed me off onto his nurse practitioner who had originally thought I had MS. She told me that the only thing their service could offer me was a spinal cord stimulator. So in other words, they were 2 months into my diagnosis and wanted one of their partners to implant an SCS. When I said no, they said there was nothing else they could do for me. I guess there was nothing else THEY could do. But I found a new PM who offered me much more in the way of meds, treatment & support. It's important to find someone who has a number of treatments to offer you. Good luck.
