It's never good to take a prescription than it's meant for you, I need pretty strong narcotics for breakthroughs. In conjunction with Lidoderm patches, but I've had HORRIBLE reactions to basically ALL of the non-narcotic medications used for CRPS .Though I am not familiar with what an SCS's is.

I have talked to my PCP and PM doctors. My PCP manages all of my medications and we have been trying to find something that I can take. I seem to be allergic to EVERYTHING. The last pain med we tried was morphine and I had some adverse reactions to it. I have also tried the Lidoderm patches, did nothing for me. Fentanyl patches - bad allergic reactions. Different compounded creams - did nothing for me. I cannot take Lyrica, Cymbalta, or anything in a gelatin capsule as I am deathly allergic to pork (gelatin). Neurontin, you name it, allergic...it is so frustrating
Sorry - SCS's is spinal cord stimulators. I have two - cervical and thoracic.
