Hi Everyone,

Mary, I've also been having problems with my back. I had the SCS implanted in Nov 08. You might have read from previous posts, but I also have horrible pain, sensitivity in my back. I just went to my pain specialist/surgeon who implanted the SCS and she said that RSD doesn't spread that way - only to limbs. I told her I have the same symptoms as my RSD. She thinks that I atleast sprained my back and possibly have a compression fracture. I have a CT can today.

I suppose I'll get to the same place as you where the tests come back normal - thus hasto be RSD. I come out doubting myself and how I feel. I end up saying "I'm not the doctor." It just seems that there are others out there - you, Denny (another member), that have RSD in the back. How can they say that it's not possible? I really wish there was more literature out there that is accurate and not just that this disease is in the limbs.

I'm sorry that you have RSD in your back. I really hope that you find the right person to implant your pain pump and that it helps. Please keep us updated.
