Hello friends!

There are more and more people desperately seeking information regarding these Spinal Cord Stimulators (aka Dorsal Column Stimulator) because their Doctors are recommending them....

I thought, for the benefit of all the newcomers, I would just ask POINT BLANK if these units aggravated or caused RSD/CRPS to actually spread. If so, please make a post on this thread giving a quick over-view of your circumstances.

There is no way to possibly compare one person's experience to another's, but regarding RSD and SCS causing it to spread, it would sure be of help for someone to see one thread targeting this question, rather than having to weed thru all the stories.

There are many success stories with these units, especially for people who have peripheral neuropathy-type pain in their extremities.

It is extremely hard to find a doctor who will actually sit down with a patient and try to determine the difference in the two types of conditions......PN.....and .... RSD.
More times than not, they are made to be considered one in the same.....

So, if you've been officially diagnosed with RSD/CRPS and had an SCS implanted and suffered from the spread of your RSD, please let it be known!

There is a thread conducting a poll on the outcome of the SCS here on this forum.....this would further elaborate on the RSD spread issue...

Thank you
