Ballerina, I'm not going to sit here splitting hairs over case studies. That is a waste of time. You and I both know these things go both ways and case studies are simply that - STUDIES. The REAL proof is in the pudding. Neither one of you have answered my question regarding how do you explain to a forum full of SCSers who have CRPS and several are getting good pain relief from these units. Do you not see that these exist? Flip side, yes there are those who have NOT had good experiences.

I'm not sure what 'doctorate' you are referring to, but most every single one of us has done extensive research and by some of the comments you have been making (such as 'there is no such thing as a successful trial and implant of these devices in CRPS pts') implies that you believe you are the top expert in what you are saying.

Why are you trying so hard to prove us wrong? All we are repeatedly asking is that you show some respect for those of us who battle this horrid condition and happen to be getting decent pain contol via the SCS.
