Saffy,

I had a failed trial SCS and am not a good candidate for any future trials; but without the meds, I would really have a difficult time getting thru each day.
I am on the same dose of Oxycontin, Percocet, Vallium, etc for the past few years. Of course there was a time when it was necessary to increase, but eventually reached the correct dose to control the pain. I thank God for the meds, they really do help. Yes, still 24/7 pain; but tollerable.

Praying,

Gerry
