thank you all for posting i appreciate it i have mediation on weds and this is one thing im considering when goin in i cant afford to deal with this on my own i just hope they are receptive to the fact that im not interested in money! if this is worth fighting for im gonna keep pushing forward to atleast get a trial! maybe then i will atleast know if there is a chance!

Good luck with the mediation. Having to deal with all the pain we have to go thru, fighting for any treatment or care just doesn't make any of it any easier. There are those out there that are just after money but those of us that have a now life long injury truly only want to feel better.

Good luck with getting authorized for a trial SCS. I have had mine since August 08. It helps but is not a cure all and I still will be on meds rest of my life.
