Life can sure be an uphill climb huh! I'm so sorry to see what you are facing. So many of us can certainly relate and you will find much support here.
The RSD/CRPS forum is very active, you will find many caring folks there.
Also, you made mention of the Dorsal Column Stimulator.
A new thread for SCS has been created. Here is the direct link

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum118.html

I recently had mine implanted and it's really helping the lower extremity pain. I encourage you to jump over to the SCS section and post a new thread and you'll get other's input. The good thing about the stimulator's is you can do the trial first to see if it'll help before making a commitment to the invasive procedure

God Bless
