I sent these articles to a friend who is going to Dr to check out Spinal Cord Stimulator. He suffers from "global neuropathies" --has severe body wide pain & other symptoms. He wants to get off meds & has been seeking ways, help w/ his pain.

While this site & articles focus on SCS for patients w/ RSD , there are warnings that may be relevant. SCS may work for you , but many who've tried have been disappointed w/ how brief pain relief was --from 2-12 mths. average 5 mths. Dr. Hooshmand states in another article about SCS, that can be Linked from his site, SCS can became another source of pain.

I don't know about SCS, just wanted to share this info. but I do suffer w/ neuropathic pain, and can empathize w/ quest for relief.... be aware..... wishing you the best...
