Welcome Bri, I'm sorry you have rsd, but this is a great forum to be on.Everone here is awesome. My pm dr wanted me to try SCS but my neuroloigst and gp advised against it for fear of complications and infection whcih could aggravate my rsd. I was also afraid to let anyone touch my spine because I have scoliosis. Some people here have had it done though with great success. It's a personal decision. I got several opinions from all my drs and then made my decision. I hope whatever you decide to do with your SCS, that you feel better soon. My prayers are with you.
