Now my concern is pain control for my eventual return to work. I know that once I get back into the ICU my sympathetic will be firing like crazy, but I don't want to do a SCS since I am improving and it's too soon. My pain doc thinks that a TENS unit might be helpful. Anyone have any experience with TENS units and RSD pain?
