Stopped that after 7days again due to side effects and no effect on pain. At last appointment NP suggested either Cymbalta next or straight to SCS.
I have read online and heard from others that side effects of SCS include affected limb will feel like it is asleep all the time (pins and needles) as well as not being able to go through metal detectors or having to have device removed if MRIs or cat scans are necessary as they will screw up impulses from device.
My concerns are whether to accept device and all ill effects or refuse and worry about employer terminating me for refusing medical care.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
