That bit right there shows your pain is SIP, Sympathetically Independent Pain. Once pain is SIP, blocks cause more pain because it over stimulates the nervous system and a SCS will not help help pain which is SIP, it only helps, somewhat for pain that is SMP, Sympathetically Maintained Pain.

To even think about an SCS with SIP, could mean a rapid spread or other problems. It really isn't worth the risks no matter if pain is sip or smp. 95% of the people I've known over the years who got an scs had rapid spread, multiple surgeries and/or infection. The most common cause of scs that quit working is because that person's pain is sip now. All rsd'ers will have their pain go independent sooner or later, it's the nature of the beast.

This is just my opinion based on six years of talking and researching. Just my 2 cents as they say.
