Michelle,

When a doctor,
starts "pushing" you down a route that you're uncomfortable with, you have to start asking the tough questions.
Why is he pushing the SCS?
Who's his sponsor?
Ask him straight out?
Or, look up the the "medtronics" or whoever makes the pump, page, and see what doctors they recommend. Is yours listed?
If so, he's getting paid to "Push the Pump". (I took a leap there, but, did you follow?)

This "MONSTER" of a disease, is now prime Time, for the Money Outlaws!

The ones that will Prey on your Pain!

Don't let them.

Find a doctor, ,who will treat you conservatively, and with your agreement, and understanding!
NOT force you into "signing the paper"! For some really next century test dumby type treatment!
I've been there, we've all been the test dumby to some extent, with this disease!
Since 1983, I'm ANGRY!

This is why I love Chiropractors. (They'll sell you some massage gel)..
Whoo waa!

Alexander Technique massuese's

And Neurologist's who will give you, and work with you, until you get the proper and correct cocktail, and keep "tweaking" it, one med at a time, until it's right FOR YOU!

NOT some rush in and cut, nutster!
No WAY!

Fact is, they DO get "kickbacks", in the form of a commision, from the company. He sells, (He's a salesman now, not a doctor), and get's say oh, 20% of a 10,000.00 device.) Plus, Installation, service and all the adjuncts!
Makes me, as a Master Plumber, feel like a real Wx, if I were to take $ for selling a certain boiler, or water heater. (Which, I NEVER did).
Plumbers have Morals.
Doctors and Lawyers, don't, necessarily!
No laws!
