I have finally decided to get a scs. My choices are the stimulator, the pump or being bedfast permanently. My mobility is shot and I am no longer safe "home alone". Anyhow, my question is as follows, does anyone know of the installation of the stimulator causing a Fibro flair? I ask that as any invassive surgery will tear me up for a good six months. Last year I had a tooth surgically removed after it broke off and I was laid up for six weeks. I have looked all over the internet and this site and don't find anything relative to it doing this. Of course, all Fibro patients have different problems and presentations.

The obvious response is to ask my pain doc. Bless his heart, he will give me the deer in the headlights look and say he has never heard of it doing that. I am not being critical of him and trust his judgement implicately after over a decade of faithful, patient treatment. I have a nasty habit of coming up with glitches that seldom happen and am trying to figure out what I may be facing. I hate surprises. Thanks.
