Confused CRPS- spinal cord stimulator-pregnancy

This is my first time visiting this message board. I have been battling CRPS on and off for ten years. I currently take Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Diludid. I broke my ankle 2 times, and 4 years after my ankle healed I had my first episode of CRPS. I am still not 100% confident of the diagnosis. I am 34 years old and would like to have children at some point when I am not on medication. One of my doctors is very aggressively wanting to place a spinal cord stimulator. My brother in law used to work for Boston Scientific as a SCS sales rep, and sold to this particular doctor, and is very against me having one placed. He considers this doctor to be overly ambitious, and just see's me as another dollar sign. Has anyone had a SCS placed before pregnancy, and did it cause complications? What other treatments can anyone recommend? My CRPS episodes have all been triggered due to inflammation in my foot, thus resulting in severe pain, medications, narcotics, physical therapy. I have 3 more sympathetic blocks scheduled in the next three weeks. Any advice on doctors or alternatives would be appreciated!
