Melissa,

First welcome to the site, and feel welcome to ask anyting and everything that you want about anything!! I have had RSD in my right foot and ankle and now my whole leg and my lower back for going on 5 years. I have 2 stims implanted and they stopped working about 6 mos after having them put in. I am getting the pain pump on feb 12th and it too is the last option for me. I have talked to people to about the pump and everthing is positive that i have heard . I have a foot deformity due to the RSD and my doc is hoping that with the pump that this will flatten out and be able to wear a normal shoe again! From what ihave heard the surgey is alot like having the stim implanted, except for the trial part, which i hated!

If you have any questions ask away.. have you looked on medtronics web site??? that will tel you alot about the pain pump too! Are you getting the new one??

Talk to you later!
