Yes! My neighbor told me she would hate to see me get one of them, as I would be so limited. I told her that I would rather be so limited without pain (assuming the SCS worked), then the way I am now- so limited with pain! She was saying "but you are so young!"...

It depends on your situation, as to whether or not you think the SCS worth it, knowing you will have limited mobility. IF it worked wonders for me I certainly would consider it! Though surgery with RSD is an iffy decision to make... knowing it could/ would flare up the RSD.
