Hi Daniella,

My RSD started in my right leg (from knee down to toes) as a result of a car accident and surgeries in 2007. In Sept and Dec of 2010, I had a spinal cord stimulator implanted with hopes of helping the pain. Instead of helping the pain, it has caused RSD in my back, shoulders and arms.

I agree completely with you on the patches! They suck, and the presence of them are extremely painful. The lidocane cream helps a bit, once I get through the application process.

Hopefully today will be a better day.
