I was actually surprised that he would go ahead and try to plan the surgery. Surely I sounded like a patient (mom) that was going to be trouble.
Spinal Cord Stimulators and CRPS-It's all about money. By the time the device failed they wouldn't give a rip if you would be "trouble" or not. You would just be politely, or impolitely referred elsewhere. They would have already made their money on the implantation.
