Hi Mike, So sorry for your daughter's pain. I also have RSD and migraines. I have had migraines since I was about 8 years old and I am now 46. I have had RSD for almost 22 years now. I had two spinal cord stimulators (cervical and thoracic) implanted for RSD 1-1/2 years ago. They help me a great deal and did not cause the RSD to spread.

I have heard about stimulation for migraines being helpful and I know there have been discussions on here about it but I cannot remember which forum it was discussed in. Hopefully someone will chime in and direct you. Also, the great thing is that she can have a trial to see if it will help before going through the permanent implant. I had a trial for my two stimulators and it helped me with my decision.

I am sure you will receive a lot of great advice here that will help you guys with your decision.
All the best,
Nanc
