My pm dr tried pushing a SCS on me for about a year. It bothered me on how he wouldn't let up on it, even when I kept saying no. I have had rsd for almost three years now and had eight nerve blocks. I'm on alot of pain meds, tried pt and accupunture. The NB, med and pt helped a little, but the accupuncture made my rsd spread. I got a second and third and fourth opinion on a SCS from my gp, psychiatrist and neurologist. They all said not to do it for fear of infection which would aggravate my rsd. Some of them also said that some drs just push the SCS for the money they make from it. I know of people who have had it and said it helped them, and I know of some people who have had it and said it didn't help them, but I decided not to get it. It's a personal decision and if I were you I would get a second opinion from another dr, preferably a neurologist. Whatever you decide, I hope that you feel better soon and can go on to have beautiful babies. Take care.
