My Pain doc wanted me to get a SCS too......I've only had symptoms for less than two months. Where is your RSD located?? How long have you had it??? I read somewhere that it DOES work best when it's a new flair and in one limb. I already have symptoms in both feet. I asked the same question about the stimulators a week ago. It's still on the first or second page of the forum. Most of the responses made me NOT want one. I'll be curious what YOU think after you read the posts/links provided by Jo*Mar. Word up!!!
