Hey no problem.I just reread this and I was told by my doctor before the scs was ruled out that the tens would not work for me since I can't even allow a finger touch on me. May I ask what part of FL you are in? I am back in Palm Beach county that is why I was asking. Hang in there and I understand too how this condition isolates us. I wish there were more concrete answers and direction.

i think you are both right the pump and scs should be usesd as a last resort option i think that some get these way to early when other things can be tried . i had already had rsd almost 6 years and this is when i had pump put in after i became very allergic to morphine. i dont think that it is right for everyone. i am one of those that has done everything besides Ketamine. because im not a candidate and im just not willing to risk my life for it. IMO

Not a naive question at all!! I believe you are right in thinking the tens unit is based on the same theory as the SCS...I guess my hardest time was beng so happy after had the temp. unit in thinking it was a positive and then having to wait so long only to wake up and not have the benefit of the SCS, permanent implant.. Thank you for your kind note and for your sympathy with this ordeal... I wish you a restful evening and send gentle hug. |

I have a SCS and the trial actually worked less than the permanant. For me, I have huge family support and my doctor actually changes out medicines seasonally. For instance more in winter than summer or visa versa. My SCS covers abou 40-50 percent of pain. Which is HUGE when you look at the full scale of 100%. It is a HUGE lifestyle change as I am young and was once an athlete. I have mine in my neck which is harder because it goes all the way down your back instead of just the lumbar spine. Everything worked out wonderfully and I decided to put it in. I never considered a pain pump, as my PM doctor told me the SCS was a option over more medications. I have had mine in for only 3 months, but those 3 months have been great over the incision sx pain from the implant.
