Rrae,

How are you doing. I've been soooo busy running around and being busy. I actually have to hold the reins in so I don't do too much. I've been brushing my boys trying to get their winter coats off of them. As soon as it dries up a bit (actually a whole lot) I'll be riding again. I'm hoping within the next couple of weekends. keep your fingers crossed. I know what you mean about the scs. After going thru everything that I have with both the scs and pump, I have to say both scs caused my rsd to spread. With the pump, I don't think so. I do have one area in my right butt cheek, where the battery in the scs was implanted first surgery, that hurts quite a bit. It has gone down with the 30% increase last week, but I know that we will have to up it more to try to tame the pain there. Besides that, no other problems. Any surgery can cause it to spread, but as the meds are going right to the spinal fluid, any spread would be taken care of by the meds so I wouldn't know it. With the scs, yes it spread, and with that we would have had to move the leads to get it to work where it spread. I think the pump way is the way to go9.

Hugs
Mary
