Hi Krank,

Your medtronics person with your PM Dr. are the best people to talk to about restrictions. Our rep has been wonderful, as well as our PM Dr. My husband doesnt not like the feeling of pain meds and they mess with his stomach and interrupts his ability to hold a cdl license. He feels he would have more "restrictions" without the scs than with it. He is now 2 weeks into his scs and although sore for the surgery, is happy with the pain relief he has recieved. He has almost completely backed off from his pain meds. They really are only relieving the pain from surgery sites as the scs is taking care of the pain from rsd.

Hope railroad is better than wc-at our hearing wc dr said it wasn't rsd, but a psycholgical issue that makes my husband think he has rsd... couldnt' believe my ears....
