Welcome Hotfoot. I'm sorry you have rsd but am glad you found this awesome group. I've tried NB and am using meds and "at Home" pt to help manage my pain now for six years. I thought about the scs early on but decided to maybe consider that as last resort if nothing else works anymore. But its a personal decision and everyone is different in their opinions of what works for them. It's something you have to decide for yourself. Just get as many facts as you can about the scs and several opinions from drs and then try to make the best informed decision that feels right for you. Also maybe check out info on other less invasive procedures to try to help manage your rsd pain better. Whatever you decide I hope that your pain starts to ease soon. Hugs.
