Julie,
You sound a lot like me. Mine also spread thinks to the scs. THe second one only made it worse. I'm now thinking of having the pain pump. If the scs isn't working for you, and you're not happy with it, you can always have it taken out. In many ways, even tho it caused the rsd to spread, I really feel so much better and freer without it. I don't know if that make any sense. I've heard that the pain pump allows you to be so much more active then the scs. I just don't know about another surgery. I've got horses, dogs, cats, so they are the reasons that I get out of bed. If it weren't for them I wouldn't have to, so I know how you feel. Just remember, we are here for you.
