Post Ok i just got a call from my docs office..

Ok this is what his receptionist said,

1. that my xray shows that my stim and electrodes are in the right place and he has to study it more to see why i dont get any coverage or why i am still in pain.

2. I told the receptionsist about the headaches i have been getting and she asked me if they were pulsating ones and they are , and she said the he said that its prob. a compl. from the stim. but she was going to tell him that mine are pulsating ones and then get back to me on what to do with them.

Thats it.. nothing more.. soo.. when she calls back i think i am going to make an appt with him next week , that will give him time to look at my films more and then i can talk to him face to face and not play telephone tag!!


I know some one had a stim and had to have it removed... was it due to the headaches... i think i rember it being allergic reaction, but i think someone else had it removed too...

I am soo frustrated and now... of course crying and i know i cant do that and it will flare my RSD up. My grandparents are in from OK and want to go out to dinner before the go back nad i dont want to and then they will ask all these questions and i dont want to answer them.. Ihate this..

Talk to you all later..

Bryn, I'm so sorry that you are upset. Yes, stress can upset the RSD, but sometimes a good cry is needed as a release. I know this is such a frustrating time for you. Hopefully, some of the others who have or have had the stim can answer your questions. Do you have something you can take for your headaches? Do you have something to take that can help you relax? Maybe if you can talk to the doc instead of the nurse you would feel more at peace with the way things are going. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. You have been a real trooper through all of this. Take care of yourself.

Bryn,

I too get bad headaces and I know it is from the stimulator because I never had headaches before I had it implanted.

Half the time I keep it off anymore because the headaches get so bad. I told my dr. this and he said turn it down and I said yea right then I don't get the stimulation I need to cover my pain. I swear he is such a jack a**.
