Im 28 and have RSD. It was Diagnosed in March 08. I have tried many things(phiscal therapy with many different things there, spinal injections, epidural drips)so when my trial stim worked great I choose to get it implanted in 09. The battery was placed in my mid back but it hurt to sit back because it stuck out some what. They moved the battery to my lower back right above my pant line, but now it is protruding all along the bottom line of the battery. It looks so gross like i have a broken bone sticking up under the skin. Now my back hurts very badly like my spine is just crumbling. I have an appointment in feb. with the pain doc. I want to see about getting it moved or having it taken out. It helps so much with the pain in my leg and foot. I just wondering if anybody else has a better idea for a more comfortable spot for battery placement and if u get any relief with taking it out for back pain.
