my name is rich i have had rsd for 15+ years it is in both arms and radiates into my chest and back. i started as most with meds then blocks on to morphine pump the best pain control i got was with scs by medtronics,after complications they had be removed and were no longer able to be used for me. the latest pain control that works really well for me (not fda approved) Deep Brain Stimulator i had had 1 for 8 years until a wire broke on my skull. last week i went and had a bi-lateral dbs installed it took 7.5 hours for which your awake most of it happy to report it is working well just have to wait a litle while to turn it up. has anybody else had this ?
