I haven't had a SCS put in, but my neighbor has one, and she told me that it does affect her mobility. She said that she cannot bend or reach up above her head because it will cause the leads to break, and then the SCS won't work.

Also, I know she told me that these days you can get it put in in a manner that you could "recharge" it when needed, but she has to have surgery every 2 years to replace the batteries in hers.

She had the SCS put in for a nerve injury, not RSD, but I thought this might still apply.

Thanks for starting this, Roz! I wanted answers to these questions myself, but no one answered my thread on it a few months ago. I hope you are well.
