You are truly beginning to sound as did I when I approached SCS Trial. I had doubts a many, hesitation in the volume of a boat load, and the full realization I did not want to finish my days [for they may be many as I am in my 50s] a prisoner of my bed........ medicated. Thus, I leapt in faith after a lot of prayer, and how happy I am this was the path for me.... not for everyone, of course, but for me. I pray your situation will demonstrate improvement according to your decisions. Pain is a long hard road, and if you can get away from it, I would be thrilled for you. Teri, well, she was both a very active oil artist and chef for a restaurant. Long years on the feet had done a number on one, just one of her knees. She had a "simple" knee surgery to correct some damage, and was happy for its result; however, this very surgery precipitated her RSD which spread whole body. She no longer even had knees, and she jokes about having gone from 5'8" to around four feet in height. A healthy sense of humor and an abiding faith she has, each in good measure to cope with her situation. She gets around via motorized wheel chair, a husband who is so very conscientious for her sake, and a medicaid supplied nurse who spends time each day with her, seeing to her needs. She paints t-shirts with messages of hope for cancer patients in a local hospital and personally delivers the same to the patients. She, like my wife and I, has taken lemons and made lemon pie. She, too, counts blessings, and looks forward to the moment she meets God. Life is full of challenge, which becomes opportunity, which transmutates into fields of flowers known as blessings, May you be so blessed my friend, Mark56 |

You are tireless in your efforts, and they are many, to bring messages of researched information to others in need, for this IS the place seekers come to find reality in appraisal of methods of approach to their varied situations. You bless others with your efforts to inform, and may you in those efforts feel the rebound of blessings which enrich your soul filled being to overflowing. It is well and truly a full heart which comes from good intentioned delivery of information to assist patients the world over in making more fully informed decisions about their care.
May you never tire from your ministry, and may you be constantly refreshed in the knowledge you are endeavoring to provide help in a world full of needy people as I once was, Gratefully, Mark56 |

[QUOTE=ballerina;840627]Hi Alt,
Please do your own extensive research regarding Spinal Cord Stimulators of any kind and CRPS. Please see below for a start. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...timulator+CRPS Add CRPSjames to the list of people with CRPS with failed Spinal Cord Stimulators Last edited by Chemar; 05-03-2012 at 01:59 PM. Reason: Lists are not allowed / research on posts |

Workers comp. did not approve. It has to go before their board or something. I tell you because of my last set of LSB's and the mild winter. I had an oppurtunity to really push my foot and am now off the roll a bout and doing so very better that I am thinking about declining the stimulator for now unless things go down hill again. I appreciate you asking. I'll keep you posted.

Hope you continue to make great progress. If things take a step in the wrong direction please consider tDCS-non-invasive, cheap and if you are a responder it can be very effective. |
