Thank you very much Mike, DWT & Mary,

I was asking for my friend who also has RSD, It's been recently recommended by a Pain Specialist that a Spinal Cord Stimulator be the next method of treatment for her. (This has also been suggested by a Pain Specialist as an option for me once...now I forcing myself to learn more about SCS's in order to support my friend through absorbing all this.)

Although a bit frightening, I think I would, personally, try it if a slight increase or adjustment in medication didn't work. Anything is worth getting rid of the pain long term and taking back ones quality of life...

Truthfully speaking, I would like to put off the pain pump for as long as possible, simply because recovery seems a bit unpleasant and I'm a wimp. (I promised I'd be good!!!!!!!)

As for my friend, I'm just hoping she gets some much needed pain relief soon, one way or another...

Thank you once again for your time my friends!

I'm sure my friend and her loved ones thank you as well,


Melissa
