Where I live, in Belgium, Europe, Spinal Cord Stimulators are only refunded for CRPS type 2 (Causalgia) and not at all for CRPS type 1 (RSD). I have no clue why. The company making the SCSs are recommending SCS as treatment for both types.

These things are very expensive!

How is the state of affairs in the US (or elsewhere) for SCSs? Does it depend on your insurance? On the type of CRPS you have? Does it depend on how far along the RSD is? What are the criteria?

I don't have a SCS. It scares me to have nerve blocks or operative procedures done. So far, I have stuck with my medication, but I am curious about other procedures.

How does it work in the US?
What are your experiences?
