Hi Sunshine Girl,
I have RSD in my foot , lower limb, burn in other foot and limb and on/in my face.
My P.M. doc wanted my to do the SCS and brought it up each time, even gave me a DVD and booklet...after learning about possible risks with RSD, I told her I didn';t want to take that route. The doc made me feel somewhat guilty for not agreeing with her.
I know it has given many success but i don;t want to take the risk plus, I work full time and the recovery is very long ..with no bending, etc, etc!
I requested and was granted an appointment at a reputable university hospital pain center to find out about more options...The appt. is not until late Sept. but I feel good about listening to myself and not being 'convinced' to try the SCS unless I was the one who chose to do so...
I take Neurontin and tried the Cymbalta and the Cymbalta through me completely off...so I discontinued it...I'm trying to find out if St. John's Wort, a natural supplement which optimizes seratonin can be taken with neurontin..
Take care, Sunshine!
Hope4thebest
