I am a new member to this site, as of this evening. A welcome team member sugested I share with others my story about my scs, and now I cant seam to stop reading and sharing my story. I hope I can bring some comfort to your family in this verry trying and frustrating time. I got rsd from from a spinal surgery 6 years ago. As a single mom it was tough to take the medication to controll the pain. finally after 2 years i was approved for the spinal cord stim (scs). I went in for the trial also scared to death as my sister also has rsd, but the other one than I have. If your husband has ever had them use the tens unit on him at pt, well thats the best explanation of how the scs feels to me. I LOVE my scs, within 2 months I was off all medication, and have been for three years now. While the scs doesnt work for everyone, I would encourage you to at least give the trial a shot. If i can further answer any questions or concerns yall may have I would be happy to do so...
