In many of the replies posted, people have referenced that I have not exhausted all of my options. While I'm sure I didn't try all of them, I have been trying since 2009 when the injury occurred. I have had 12+ nerve blocks that were unsuccessful and months of physical therapy - after going through this for 3 years, the SCS was presented as another option. If you feel that the SCS is a poor option, what others options do you suggest I try instead of the SCS? I continue to build a resistant to all of the pain meds I have been on and now are up to Oxycodone and Percocet, both as you know are highly addictive which I have already started seeing symptoms of. As this time, I haven't been presented with any other options other than the SCS so I after much reserach and conversations with people I know who have them, decided to try the trial. I was advised that the trial is not invasive and is a minor procedure and gives me the ability to see how I react to it before the major implantation. So, I am asking you, what options should I try instead of SCS? I would be more than willing to bring them to my doctor or change doctors if that's what it takes. But what I do know, is that I am only 30 years old and there is no way I can be pregnant while I am taking 6+ Rx's daily.
