Need help
 

I had an SCS Implant surgery for RSD for my legs (with full success) & was wondering if anyone has heard of, or experienced, RSD starting in the incision site if their implant??? Please help???? Really concerned:confused::eek:

I have heard of people have issues with the surgery from the scs. I would call the doctor who did this surgery asap.

Thank you Daniella, I plan to call as soon as the office opens this morning! This just started Saturday night. I am, needless to say, terrified. This was supposed to be the beginning of my life, ya know?:(:confused:

I am sorry and can understand your fears. I hope your doctor can give you some answers. I will say some pains and symptoms I have had thru this I thought was an rsd spread cause the pain was so high and for so long but it did go away with time. I am a slow healer that is for sure so maybe that could be what is going on with you. I hope regardless you get relief and answers

Hi renhenne,

I had a SCS implanted to help with the RSD in my right leg and foot. After my 2nd surgery for this in Dec of 2010, I began to experience symptoms of RSD in my back, arms, neck shoulders and fingers. I am now being told that the due to the surgery, the RSD has "flared" into those areas. If they told me before the surgery (or if I had read on my own) that surgery increases the flaring of RSD, I would not have agreed to the surgery. Right now, I am still having trouble getting my stim to work and cover the correct areas, I have had 2 additional blocks to try and help with the "new area". Nothing seems to be working. I am not sure what to do next, but I do know that surgery WILL NOT be an option.

Best of luck to you, continue to talk to your doctors - ask questions, and do not be afraid to insist or see someone else.
