Thank you and Happy New Year to you too! My SCS works very well to reduce my RSD pain, I don't know how I could get on without it now. The pain is still there, but usually about a 4 out of 10 when I have it on which is much lower. The issue I've been having though is for some reason I am having stimulation in my stomach which is very uncomfortable when it is only supposed to be in my legs. I've been trying to move the leads down on their own by bending but it's not working- I think they're already scarred in- so now on Thursday of next week I'm going in to have my doctor pull them down a little. I can't wait to have this done so I can have the stimulation out of my stomach and be able to use the device for my pain relief even more.

I guess I would caution, though, that when considering the SCS be prepared for the chance of revisions needing to be made. I knew that was a possibility going in so while I'm frustrated with the setback I accept it and it's worth it for the kind of relief it provides.
