Hello JadedOne....
I just wanted to add my 'Welcome' to NT! 
I see you've really been thru alot. I'm so sorry.
You'll find many caring people here, as you've already seen.
I have an SCS - it's for my lower limbs tho. You'd be looking at a cervical implant. There's a bunch of folks with these over on the SCS forum, Darlene pointed the way if you want to correspond with others who have them. It's in the 'Medications & Treatment' forum listed as a sub-forum if you can't find it.
Like Jo*Mar says, lots of homework, which I see you've done. You might ask doc regarding possible spread of CRPS.
These units have helped many people (including me). The downside is that alot of times they require revisions and such. I'm not sure how this would do if you've lost complete use of the arm. I'm so sorry about that. One of the members at the SCS forum (Mark56) is dealing with the recent diagnosis of his deteriorating arm. It isn't CRPS tho. His SCS is for his lower limbs similar to mine.
I completely understand where you're at tho. The pain is agonizing and it sends our quality of life spinning downward. I sure hope something will turn around for you....
Caring,
Rae
