CRPSbe, I have CRPS Type II. I have an SCS. I like my SCS now. I wasnt really happy in the beggining but I got a new programmer & he has helped me. It doesnt take my pain away but it helps & it blocks some of it. I wouldnt want to be with out it now. I had to do a psych exam & my doctor had to fight my insurance some saying we have nothing else to treat me with at that point. But my insurance paid. The good thing about the SCS is there is a trial surgery so you can try it before its implanted. Mine is cervical (in my neck) & runs all he way to my bottom. I have to be very careful not to pull my leads. I have already had one revision surgery because my dog pulled me too hard. I mean hard though!!! It does change stimulation being in the neck its very positional. I have gotten used to it. Doesnt bother me. But everyone is different. As you can see frfom the other post. I will be honest with you. My RSD did spread because of the surgery. Its in my back & in my hip & bottom now. Its a chance I knew I was taking. I thought I was good because it didnt happen right away. I felt it in my hip but not in my back for a few monthes. I still think I would do it again. I needed it for my arms. If you have any more questions dont hesitate to ask. PM me if I dont see them here.
Hugs & good luck, Denny
