And WELCOME to a wonderful forum ! You are sure to get a lot of support here! Several RSD folks have their stories to share regarding the SCS.

We also have a forum here specific to SCS/Pain Pump discussion
here is the direct link to click on :

You can read other's testimonies, some good, some not so good, but it's important to hear both sides of what could be expected.
You might also ask your doctor about the pain pump.....that would also be an option. Too many Dr's present the SCS as a last option, but there ARE Dr's willing to do the pain pump and it has proven effective as well....

I wish you the best as you seek out information. It's a huge decision to make.
Get as many facts as you can. Be sure to ask your Dr about the possibility of RSD spread after getting an implant.....that has been the experience of several here.

Truly Caring
