What happened to me probably wont happen to anyone , Its Just my luck.

I would add that the 3 weeks I had it in , It never really helped a whole lot, The shocks I would get where more annoying and sometimes quite painful.

Again just my exp , We each need to make our own judgements on what to try .

Sorry to hear about your issues with your scs DONTTOUCHIT. I'm so tired of hearing about those who have RSD and psychs. This has happened with my wife who has RSD several times. I believe psychiatric help is a good thing when it is perceived as help, not when your judgement is called into question when one has a confirmed severe pain disease. Just seems to smack of the former Soviet Union. I once mentioned this to my wife's doctor who wanted her to see a shrink because she refused to take psychopathic meds in-which she has done before and made her feel very sick. One other thing about the SCS that may or may not be true but both my wife and I have read is the SCS works better with the lower extremities than the upper.

Jim that is it exactly , I wasnt crazy to get the thing put in , Now all of a sudden I am nuts wanting to take the thing out? LOL The system is what is crazy not me . In the above post I meant to say I had it TURNED ON for 3 weeks not implanted in me for 3 weeks .

If WC would just stop dragging their feet on everything , Youd think theyd make more money rather then pay me too sit here and wait months for approval to take a breath.
To get back on the Psychologist , When I met with him he said That I wasnt a good candidate for the SCS LMAO Because I had problems with the temporary one . SO again WC makes fools of themselves instead of just treating me and moving on . Ill keep ya posted when they finally to decide to remove this thing .
