Hi my name is Marianne I have had PN for 5 years . I was entrapped and had decompression surgery in shyly of 2017. Unfortunately it made me worse. I have tried more nerve blocks and two of the amniotic allograft injections but nothing’s seems to help. I think I worked myself to hard into the pain before I got diagnosed. I was a New nurse and worked those long shifts running the halls of the hospital. Now I am home bound. Cigna has denied my request for a dorsal Root ganglion scs twice. Now it is time for my doctor to appeal. I would appreciate any research articles or personal stories to support the use of the scs in my case. Any advice appreciated.

Marianne, you can read Kit's recent posts about his experience with the DRG neurostimulator. http://www.pudendalhope.info/forum/view ... =33&t=8604 Maybe he can tell you how his physician coded it and how he got his insurance to cover it.
