Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 - How frustrating !! I'm really sorry that you facing more surgery. I know all too well how sick and tired that garbage can make you. Please keep us posted. Barbarajomal1@... wrote: , Wish they didn't have to do anything with your SCS. You've had enough on your plate these days... Hopefully, the ultrasound will give you some more info. Is having leads moved major surgery, or can they do it outpatient?? Thoughts and prayers are with you. Hugs, Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Jeanne, Thanks, it will be some time before I have to deal with it but I'm trying to find out basic information for it now. I can't believe yours hasn't worked in so long!! I guess they may as well take it out since you have the morphine pump now. It's not even sure I will have the SCS, I don't know yet. I'm glad to see you posting since the surgery, how are your eyes doing? I hope you are doing ok. <hugs> Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Lori - Quite a few folks have two stimulators. In my siutation, I'd rather deal with the pain in my foot at this point than deal with the paresthesia that comes with having an SCS go to my foot. I can always change my mind but....

I thought that was why my doctor said I might not be able to have it. I don't know, my leg and feet really hurt but I'm so lost without my arms and hands and they hurt soooo bad, I can't do anything I used to do. So more than likely I would choose my upper half if I had to make a choice. Thanks again for the info, hope you are feeling well! <hugs> Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Barbara, Again thank you for the info. Not to sound stupid but what is paresthesia? I know I should ask my doc all these questions but I won't see him for a while and tyring to get a better understanding of my options. Thank you again for all your help. <hugs> Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
