I get the trial spinal cord stimulator inserted tomorrow. I'm starting to get really nervous. I found the spinal blocks to be incredibly painful. When I had the block in epidural form, it hurt the entire time it was in (come to find out they were pumping way too much medication into my spine at once). When I started seeing a pain doctor again, I swore I'd never get a block again. Now this?
I am extremely excited at the prospect of decreasing my long term pain levels, but the procedure itself scares the hell out of me. It's like my wedding. I couldn't wait to be my husband's wife, but the wedding itself terrified me.
The ends justifies the means...
