Default scs pain

HI all I was just wondering if anyone has had pain in the scs site after it was put in. Mine started hurting the day after it was put in and the doc said just wait and it will stop hurting. It was put in for rsd in my L. foot I had had two previous surgeries on my lower back. I told the doctor before he put it in that i had been told that I have alot of scar tissue but he said that that wouldnt be a problem. When they put in the trial one it was very painful after about twenty minutes of more pain than i could stand I told him to stop I couldnt take any more and then he said he couldnt get it thru the scar tissue but he could put it thru the cottle I didnt know what he was talking about and was told that that meant the tail bone. So he put it in that way and it didnt hurt wish he would have done it that way in the first place. The trial never hurt until it was taken out then it hurt and it was a month before the final one was put in and my back was still hurting but he said he would worry about the pain later after the final one was put in.....Well it has never stopped hurting but has gotten alot worse i can barely walk now .. the doctor is a anasteologist boy mispelled bad. well anyway he told me to see another doc what he did didnt cause the any pain to me it is simple he did something wrong and he doesnt want anything to do with it. The scs doesnt seem to work i have it off more than on but it might be helping one percent something that i cant really tell. I have called a few other doctors and they want nothing to do with what another doc has done. One told me that if he takes it out I cant have another one medicare will only pay for one he said and taking it out doesnt guarantee the pain would go away cause it hurt after the trial was removed. I dont know what to do I even had to get a referal just to talk to a neuro surgeon he said the orginal doctor should find me a doctor to see if he could find out what was done wrong but they all stick together so I think I am screwed I will be on crutches shortly I would never have another one put in it was the most painful back surgery that I have had besides having the two previous back surgeries I had my neck fused and it was nothing either compared to getting a scs.... thanks for letting me vent i hope other people have better luck than i did....Alan
