I have to say, it's not the first time I have heard about the leads moving or shocking people. A Belgian pain support group I am with has a number of people with SCSs, with other conditions than RSD but they do complain about the same kinds of side-effects, mostly infections, the leads moving and to a lesser extent the shocks.

That's why I'm so hesitant.

It's the same thing here, you have had to have tried just about everything else before doctors will even consider it, but no matter what it still is NEVER refunded for type 1 CRPS, which I think is more than unfair to even make a distinction like that.
