please excuse
the rather stupid question I'm about to ask Jim... but why a spinal cord stimulator vs. a pain pump? I guess when it was explained to me the pain pump is implanted when the amount of pain meds is too much and not quite reaching the pain levels needed or one cannot function on oral pain meds and still needs medicating.
I guess I don't really get if SCS is more of a distraction type of deal than actually dealing with what a pain pump would do or maybe the pain pump is the absolute last resort?
I probably should go back and google all this because obviously I'm rather out of the loop here re SCS.
Good luck whatever anybody tries! Please post experiences for the benefit and edification of others! thanks, Maria
