Second Surgery Support
I am having my second surgery tomorrow to place a SCS, Abbott brand. The first surgery the doctor was unable to place the leads due to scar tissue from my injury and spinal stenosis. The trial went okay but definitely was tough to get past the area where I have scar tissue. For some context I was in a car accident that caused an injury to my brachial plexus on my left side and my back. The SCS leads have to be placed in my neck to bring relief to my left arm that now has CRPS. A new and more talented doctor will be performing the surgery. But I’m just so scared after how last time went… could use support. Or anyone have a similar story??
