Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I have to say, I just went and watched the video of the " real " surgery for receiving the SCS. I think if I had watched this prior to my surgery, I would have backed out!!!! I'm a huge coward. I know a lot of people can watch things like this and it doesn't bother them, but I'm not one of them. I had to stop when he was " tunneling " for the leads. I'm just a big baby. If there are any other " big babies " out there on this group, I can give you a link to an animated version (and I don't mean cartoon) which shows exactly the same thing only no real knives or blood or fat or whatever else this one shows. I can still remember when my doctor was explaining the surgery and he said they had a device to feed the leads.........I don't know what he was going to say next because I told him to stop, I didn't want to know, didn't want to hear it. I know it's better than having to use an incision and it's amazing that they can do that, but whew.....I sure didn't want to see it. Everyone on here who have watched it, my hat is off to you.....I knew there was a reason I never wanted to be a nurse, let alone a doctor!!!! or a Vet.....dentist......I am such a baby. Sorry all.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 , I would like the link to the " animated " version of the surgery. I can also add it to the groups link section.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I did make it through the whole video, but it took several pauses to get through it. I had to pause the video to prepare my mind and stomach for the next part. I agree, I don't know if I would have had the surgery had I seen the video first. The tunneling was the most painful part of my surgery. I blame that on the anesthesiologist though. > > I have to say, I just went and watched the video of the " real " surgery for receiving the SCS.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I was a nurse for years and I had a few ew moments during the surgery the tunneling of the guide to the leads I think was the worst. However I now know why I have the dang pain I do in those muscles in between the incision areas. Yes it is not for the faint of heart or stomach but it does give you a very real view of the surgery which for me was invaluable. I agree the antimated version would be great for those who cannot watch this one. link to scs surgery > > here a link to getting a scs surgery mike group owner > > > ------------------------------------ > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thank you for the info on the surgery. The video was great and I now have some feel of what will happen. I have worked in EMS for many years so that didnt bother me. I have shared it also with my family so maybe they have some clue as to what will happen. I was in so much pain last week and finally had some relief on Saturday (block was on Wed) but now today (tues) I am again in so much pain. I have another block tmrw and It cant get here fast enough. Its also so dang cold here trying to keep foot warm and yet deal with the sensitivty.. Its a loosing battle... > > I have to say, I just went and watched the video of the " real " surgery for receiving the SCS.
