Hi Rich!!
I wanted to welcome you to the forum. I am SO sorry about your difficult road with RSD. It sounds like you have already had most of the possible medical treatments for it. I have never heard of the DBS for RSD but am VERY curious to hear what other members have experienced or heard regarding it. Where is your RSD located??? Have any of the surgeries caused it to spread???
I wish you the best of luck with your treatment. I hope and pray that you find good relief when you are able to turn it on next week!! Please keep us posted on how you are doing. Welcome again to our little family. You will meet many caring, supportive, compassionate people here!! I hope to talk to you soon!!
