Just to update.. we went back to the ortho doc today, and the PM doc. Ortho says he has no answers, and PM doc is taking an extended leave of absense, but is referring Reed to another PM in the same city. He said that obviously the nerve blocks did not do what they were supposed to because Reed's pain is not only nerve related, but also involves bone, muscle, and sensory. He said that SCS is basically the only hope he has of getting relief and any sort of movement back. They are sending in a request for approval for trial SCS. Of course, this brings up a whole new set of questions.
He also raised his neurontin dosage and said he wants to see if this gives him enough relief to help him sleep . If not, then he'll have to give him sleep meds also.
I guess now we wait to see if WC approves the SCS. Any info on SCS as always, is appreciated!
Thanks for all your help guys.. ya'll are fantastic!
