Hi Vivid, I'm sorry you're suffering so much and just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you and hope that you'll feel better soon. My pm dr was pushing for a SCS for over a year but my neurologist and gp they thought it could possibly cause an infection and a chance of spread of my rsd. After weighing the pros and cons I decided not to do it. But it's definitely a personal decision. I know some people who said it helped them and others who said it didn't. I was also told that after two years of having rsd the chances of it helping were minimal anyway. I have had rsd for almost three years now so it's something I will never do. I was also warned from some of my drs that some drs push for the SCS because it's a very expensive procedure. It's something they wanted me to beware of. Whatever you decide to do, I hope you find something that helps you to feel better soon. Take care.
