Has he helped you...He seems very knowledgeable!

He has helped me. He is all about 'getting us back to our normal lives'. and 'functional rehabilitation'. I had a SCS put in in June. On my first visit to him I was sitting and listening to him and he looked at me and goes 'it doesnt seem like you want to get better', and i said no I just dont know if i can trust you yet. And ever since then, it has been a success. If you or me as a patient does not give your 110% then, he can not do his job properly. He is not for just giving more medication, which i like being 20 years old. It has been a rough road but he has made it much easier, and does alot of study and work continuously with the CRPS world, and what other doctors are doing, and how they treat their patients.

I was fortunate to get into him, I worked for one of his friends, and so that is how i got in to see him. As I was saying i had a SCS put in in June and had success with it. It took awhile, and at the time he had just finished writing the entire chapter in a textbook for SCS implantation so he knows what he is doing. I then burnt my arm with hot water and the RSD spread so we did ketamine, and that kicked it down. :) He has helped me and I wouldnt be where I am today without his help.
