    Post: spinal cord stims

    Posted by dayle o'brien on 7/02/09


    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!!
