My CRPS in in hand and arm as well, I am truly sorry to hear about your daughter's battle. I also have a 13 year old daughter. Being able to see both sides here, I would avoid the SCS. A pill is MUCH easier to deal with than a good size foreign object protruding from under the skin of her back. if I may say this to her : Sweetheart, there are meds that can offer relief Cymbalta, Lyrica, Gabapentin are great in offering some relief and you won't have to have your body invaded by an electrical device. don't focus on one day at a time, take it minute by minute and try Not to stress out (it makes it worse), there is nothing that I am wishing more for you than a moment of peace. I'm sending much love and to you.
