it is funny how different states and drs are when i first saw my pm they looked at my foot and that was one of the first thing they offered to me. i too had to go to a physcologist and they told me after the exam that i was a good canditate for it but i just am not there yet from the research i have done i dont think it is right for me, i do know everyone is different. i was told that the scs helps alot of different things to failed back syndrom rsd type 1 and 2, neck pain migrains and even stomach disorders, if your are wanting the scs i would keep telling your dr that this is the right treament for you and if they wont do it then maybe search for a dr how will for you. good luck


ps.. reasearch medtronic and bring that info to your dr maybe that will help. medtronic is a good company and it does say that is helps rsd type 1
