Hi Melissa, Welcome but so sorry CRPS brought you here. It's a wonderful support group and sadly it seems like we're the only ones who understand the comlexities of CRPS ( bad pun).
It really sucks that nerve blocks don't help. They're no magic bullet but they do give me some relief except I have to get them so often. I did the SCS trial but it did not help much more than the nerve blocks. I'm just very afraid of the permanent one.
Please do your research and ask questions of your Dr. and the SCS Rep. There is a subforum on here about Pain pumps and SCS. Please read the real results of these actual people. There are details the Rep. skims over on purpose. However there are CRPS patients who are grateful for the SCS and some who regret it and then there's everyone in between.
