Hi. I am sorry for all your facing. The doctor who suggested the SCS does he deal a lot with RSD? It is a very hard choice because we all respond so different. I am big on 2nd or even 3rd opinions if possible could you see another anestesolgist to see what he or she feels in terms of the scs? If those meds are not helping could you talk about other meds? Or what dose are you on because sometimes it is not enough? I wish I had more answers for you and from my doctors I often get a conflicting treatment plan too. When that happens I do try to stay with less invasive and work my way up if need be.
