Heart Hey there Saffy :)

VERY good question!
Mark is SO helpful! What would we do without our Mark!

One thing that I regret is ..... not getting clarity in what type of follow up plan would be available. I think several folks feel as tho - once the Dr gets paid, then it seems like it gets more and more difficult to receive follow up care, as in - checking for lead migration if something may not seem 'right'....
.....tweek sessions, etc.
I feel a bit 'betrayed' by my doctor to be honest. I just wish I would have known to ask him how he handles follow thru care.
.....i think I already know how he'd answer that tho.....he's very arrogant ........I'm sure his answer would have been something like "Well, Rae, you won't NEED any follow thru care from ME because I'm just so gooooood at what I do"......
And, God forbid, if something does happen to go 'wrong'.....then off to the psyche Dr it is! because he sure as heck doesn't want his 'masterpiece' reputation to be tainted.....so yeah, it must be in my HEAD.
I wish they wouldn't even get PAID until 2 or 3 months after the procedure has been done.

Not all Dr's carry this amount of arrogance, so please don't be frightened by my 'issues'....
I actually DO like the SCS.....
I just wish I had a different Dr, that's all.

I'm sure you will be very pleased with what the stimulator will do for you....and you have done a fantastic job of researching and getting input.
You are on the ball, my friend!
