You have happened upon a fantastic forum!! Plenty of wonderful support here!

I am so sorry about what your husband is dealing with! RSD is a nasty nasty condition!

Getting the SCS is a huge decision and Drs seem to be pushing them more than ever.......
Mine is working well for my lower extremity Peripheral Neuropathy burning pain.......I've had it almost a month.

I recommend you check out our RSD forum.....here is the direct link just click on
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum21.html

Be sure to ask your Dr about the possibility of the RSD spreading when getting the SCS implant. It has helped many, yet what I am seeing alot of is RSD pts saying that the SCS aggrivated their condition.

This procedure is a very individualized form of pain control....so do not take and ONE person's as gold!

Please stick around! Keep this thread current and let us know how your husband's treatment plan continues....
It will be very valuable to others who are seeking out the same info you are!

God Bless!
