SCS or DRG

Post by pne2010 »

Which is better and why? I've received conflicting answers from a number of doctors.

Everything I've read says that DRG has a much higher success rate. Sadly it appears that many more doctors do SCS, but it is much harder to find those who do DRG. (especially in-network for marketplace insurance)

You can do a search on Kit's posts on this forum -- he had success with a DRG neurostimulator. You can read Amanda's experience with SCS using retrograde approach from Dr. Van Buyten in Belgium. I think there are some US doctors who do them too.

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.
