Spreading of CRPS due to SCS is discussed a lot at the RSD forum, as it is certainly a possibility. Glad to see you posted this question over there also.
One thing I might interject is that after having the trial leads removed, the pain can come back full-force in a lot of cases, and waiting for the permanent implant can seem like an eternity. I hope the doctor who did the trial will address the pain to try and determine if it might be spreading.
Do keep a journal. It's a great reference.
How well (if any) did the trial work as far as covering over the original pain? I know how difficult it can be trying to figure out which pain is what.
My heart goes out to you as you wade thru the pros and cons.

Thanks for the reminder to keep a journal and thanks for the sharing and the support!
