I love the scs but have been having pain flares lately and I have to keep turning it up. After the trial I was able to open my hand which cramps closed and I thought that I'd be able to open it again with the perm one but no. I go back to the Dr next wk and hopeing he sends me to pt to get this hand open. I was also told that the scs would block the RSD pain and my hand would go back to looking normal but that hasn't happened. Still swells and turns colors, parts of my arm are hypersensitive. The majority of pain itself is gone and makes it easier to use. Sometimes the burning gets through yet other times (like now) my hand is ice cold.

I guess I thought that the RSD and all it's ugly symptoms would go away.
