It is all about the money. I think the SCS is the most useless if not the most harmful thing for RSD I have seen and because of peoples desperation to get better they can't think things out to the extent they need to before getting it done.
We have a pain Dr. in our area, very well known, he is know to push the SCS, Narcotics and his rehab center. I have met 4 people he has put the SCS in. All have them off or out. I've met several that are very addicted to Oxycontin because of him and his rehab center cost around 20,000 to attend for a month.
There are just certain Drs. that is all about the money and RSD seems to be a disease that draws them due to not enough known about it.
I did find out also that there are only 4 researches being done on RSD compared to hundreds on other illnesses.
