Default Hi Rae :)

As was the case with me. It's very frustrating and sometimes we have to weed thru several Dr's. Eventually, someone will come along and see this for what it is.

Has anyone mentioned anything about the SCS (spinal cord stimulator) ?
Just wondering. Alot of Dr's do these. I have one in my lumbar for the burning neuropathy pain in both legs. It sounds freaky I know. When all other treatments fail, this is sometimes considered, depending on whether or not Dr thinks you are a candidate

I hope you can start getting answers soon.
Let us know how the SNB injections go

Thanks for the ongoing kind words! And yes, my doc gave me dvd to watch about the spinal cord stimulator. It sounds wonderful. My only problem is cost. My insurance pays 80% but that would leave me with a $20,000 bill in the end. We just can't swing that. Not sure why this is so expensive here, but it is. Hope you have a wonderful day! Karen
