Confused SCS Revision for RSD/CRPS

Hi Everyone,
I was curious if any of you have ever undergone a revision of a cervical SCS. I was diagnosed with RSD 5 years ago and it has spread to various limbs in my body. In an effort to deal with the extreme pain I have in both hands and arms, I had a SCS implanted 2 years ago, but it does not give me good coverage. My new Neurosurgeon would like to do a revision, changing the type of SCS I have so that there are more leads within the paddle and he is going to take a different approach to implanting, going down and in versus up and in which my former Neuro did. I have to make a decision by Tuesday, and I am leaning towards having it done, but I was curious if anybody else has had such an experience. Have any of you with an SCS ever undergone a revision? Was it worth it in the long run?

Thanks for any who can shed some light on this situation!
Angie
