Confused New to group needing advice.

Hello everyone, I'm 39 and was diagnosed with RSD due to a work injury. I had a spinal cord stimulator installed in 2006. Due to my surgery my RSD spread to my incisions (neck, midback, & lower back). I have RSD bilaterally on my extremities. I also have bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome & many forms of tendonitis bilaterally. I was recently told that my leads from my SCS that are on my neck, in my spinal cord space have gone bad. Now they want to redo my surgery. I am hardwired from my neck to my lower back. I'm terrified of them having to redo my surgery due to where the leads are. I don't know how safe this is and so if anyone who has had a spinal cord stimulator redone please let me know how it went. I can only remember how after surgery I ended up with neck and back issues, my RSD spread to my incision sites and I have had many bad reactions to medications. If there's anyone out there that can give me some words of wisdom, please help me. Jessica
