Hi ~ I know RSD means pain basically all over, but where was the SCS supposed to work? Where is the most of your pain located? Is it in your back/leg/foot???

I'm wondering if the Morphine Pump wouldn't work, since the morphine bathes the nerves and basically numbs them. I had the trial for it, and I was pain-free for the first time in 20 years!!! Unfortunately, I couldn't have the pump. You might ask about it and see if it might work for you. I had the SCS and it drove me nuts. It irritated things even more.

Best of luck and I hope whatever is decided, it relieves your pain! God bless. Hugs, Lee
