Post: spinal cord stims

i had 2 different scs placed. the first the wires broke, didn't work properly, funny, the trial was better. had a different one placed. i nearly died from that one. the doctors didn't know what they were doing and obviously neither did the rep in the OR. i was in so much agony....the worst pain i had ever experienced. i finally ended up so bad, i ended up in a big hospital in the st. where they found it was placed too close to the brain stem....not done properly, and i needed a laminectomy of c- 1 and c-2 to remove it. the surgery was extremely dangerous being where it had to be performed. i could have lost my life. unfortunately, by the time i found out, the statute of limitations was over. i am now worse off than i ever was with severe neck and head pain on top of the rsd and arm pain i had in the beginning. the doctor involved also seems to have connections everywhere....so unfortunately, he used me for a guinea pig, i am suffering and he gets away with it. he destroyed my life. but what goes around comes around. he will face his maker and have to explain his actions. i'm sure i'm not the only one. be very careful before you do this surgery, as if you think you cannot be any worse and would do anything for relief....remember, it CAN be worse!!
