Hello all! I was wondering if anyone has had, or heard of, side effects from SCS implants...like gastrointestinal problems, etc?

I have many, many allergies and a gluten intolerance so I avoid all the those types of foods. I am having "issues" and cannot quite figure it out. With the additional shooting pains in my abdomen and head, we think the RSD is spreading. But I have had trouble keeping food in me for the past 2-3 months or so and I have had constant nausea. Not sure if it is the spread or SCS causing the problems.

I spoke to my PM and he suggested turning the thoracic SCS off to see what happens. I do not think it is the actual stimulation causing a problem because my SCS's stimulate my hips down to my feet and my shoulders down into my hands. I do not have stimulation in my back or abdomen. I wonder if my body is just not happy with the foreign objects in there.

I am at a loss here and need some relief soon!!

Thanks
Nanc
