My RSD/CRPS is in my left hand and arm, luckily not my dominate arm, but I cannot button, tie, shave with that hand, blowdry my hair, straighten it, open a package, nothing. Did no one else have any positive results with the SCS?
Dear Shelby,
Please see below.

Have you tried tDCS. It is non-invasive with no side effects. If your doctor does not know about it maybe it is time for a second opinion.

Please give yourself time to thoroughly research the very real danger of SCS and CRPS.

Take care and Thinking of you!

P.S. You might consider starting a thread on the RSD Forum asking for input from folks with CRPS who have had spinal cord failures for examples of the risks.
