Oh Kathy, While I HATE that you have CRPS, I'm so glad you have a diagnosis!!! Now I hope you can get some APPROPRIATE pain treatment. I just hope you don't have to wait forever to get approved for the SCS.

Now remember that the SCS will NOT help with the back pain -- only the legs. It might help a little, but very little with the back. I only got stimulation in the legs when I had mine. But it all depends on where they put the "leads" in your upper back. At any rate, the surgery is a snap -- no problem at all.

PLEASE keep us posted on what happens, etc., okay? We SURELY want to know what's going on with you. Gentle hugs, Lee
