Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

Post by Janelle54 »

Dr. Mao, my pain management doctor,wants me to see a neurosurgeon about having DBS because I cannot have SCS. Has anyone had this? What were the results? There are so many things I have to consider. I can't believe how in a split second my entire life has been turned upside down.

This is the web site that I got answers on just what is done. http://www.neurosurgerytoday.org/what/p ... lation.asp
Odly enough Dr Eskender is not mentioned in the search. I just found it gave information about the procedure.
