Intolerance: I believe that you are intolerant of eggs with respect to your IBS and since this is not a true allergy there should be no cross reaction to other foods. Any intolerance of other food substances are indeed possible but would not be a true cross sensitivity. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (Definition)
On average, the implantation of a spinal cord stimulator is going to be anywhere from $20,000 to as much as $60,000 without any sort of insurance. This does not include the evaluations and annual fees. There are some websites such as Spineuniversity.com that states the total implantation cost would reach as high as $57,800.
Cost effectiveness[edit] The cost effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation in the treatment of chronic back pain was evaluated by Kumar and colleagues in 2002. They examined 104 patients with failed back surgery syndrome. Of the 104 patients, 60 were implanted with a spinal cord stimulator. Both groups were monitored over a period of five years. The stimulation group annual cost was $29,000 versus $38,000 in the other group. 15% returned to work in the stimulation group versus 0% in the other group.
