SO GLAD you decided to post your predicament. I'm also from the Philly, PA area and I have two Spinal Cord stimulator implants (one for upper limbs, one for lower). I have an EXCELLENT Pain Management doctor who is a genius with a 89% success rate. His name is Dr. Steven Rosen with the Fox Chase Pain Management. He is a perfectionist and a brain and he knows his stuff. Been to 10 doctors before him who did all sorts of epidurals and injections that helped me very little (or temporarily). First time I spoke with Dr. Rosen (who was HIGHLY recommended by my Neurosurgeon), he immediately did the proper testing for me to find out why I was having the excrutiating pain I was -- severe nerve damage from nerves being stretched, not disc impingement (what other Docs were treating me for). Long story short, I tease him and tell him he is the love of my life for giving me my life back. He placed those ANS leads so precisely, that I have 100% full coverage of where my pain is

You have a great group of people on this board. Hope you find the answers you need and meet some awesome aquaintances along the way

Best of Luck!!! Vanna
