Hi everyone! I'm 25 w/CRPS in L foot/leg now spread to R side as well. (my intro is out there somewhere, but that's beside the point). Anyway, I'm on my way to getting my SCS trial scheduled (any day now, ins just approved )

Anyway, my predicament is, assuming my trial is successful, I am semi-obsessively thinking about the pros/cons of the different placement options for the battery "pocket". I have read about issues w/people having pain at their battery site (often in upper-buttock region), but also have read issues where people have had it placed in their abdomen also. I'm thinking the best spot would be my front- hip/lower abdomen- thus not bothered by belts, etc, nor hit by ribs when moving, and not hitting chairs, etc, when sitting too long.. (hopefully my rambling is making sense).

So my questions for you all are A: Where is your SCS battery placed, and B: Are you happy with it, or does it cause you additional pain (& when/why)?

Your input here is priceless, and I appreciate any help you all can offer. Thanks so much!
