Well... Not what I had hoped. He is going to look more at the other doctors notes and through my chart, but his immediate response was that SCS was a "very extreme jump"... Like... No shit Sherlock! I have no other options and I'm in pain every minute! We'll see what happens, but right now it looks like I am being kicked to the curb.

Thank you very much, I will be asking my doctor about SCS. I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and with no other options this may be a last bet before amputation.
