If there's a chance that you've got a rheumatological problem going on, WHY would your doctor not test you for that before performing the SCS implant?? I would see a rheumatologist for testing BEFORE submitting myself to any such surgery!!
Just my humble opinion...the very best of luck to you!! Xoxo. Sandy

The odd thing is that I don't get these all the time, and invariably, when I get them, they are either preceded or followed by significant all-over body aches.
I'd be really curious to know if this is from the CRPS. I had a doctor suggest lupus the other day which seriously scared me; he also suggested that I see a rheumatologist.
Right now, I'm waiting for my spinal cord stimulator implant which I'll get next month. After that, we'll see. If it's still a big issue, I will follow up with my family physician to see if I need any additional testing.
I'm glad at least to know that I'm not the only one dealing with it, but I am sorry that you have to deal with it at the same time.
