I'd start with asking how long he has been doing that procedure and how his patients do LONG term after the implantation of a SCS.

I know that people who do well and whose pain is well managed, by whatever means, may tend to focus more on living life than on posting here.

The vast majority of posts that I have read on NT over the years have been SCS horror stories, not success stories. I have read a few positive SCS stories, but they have been from people who have had the implants less than 2 years. I've seen too many of those "positive story posters" turn into "horror story posters" after time went by. That REALLY concerns me.

I would do a search here on NT to check the anecdotal info on our members.

I would consider that there could be more success stories, they just don't post at NT.

I'd do a lot of internet searching for studies on the LONG term ( > 2 years) results of those with implants for RSD.

Good luck, Angelina.
