Hello All,
My wife has RSD and is thinking about installing a spinal cord stimulator. She and I would both appreciate any information and opinion regarding this topic. Thanks. johnthepainter |

Thank you all for your responses so far. And, I did catch the information on scs in your interesting news post Joan.
We have no specific questions in that both of us have read the usual reviews and medical information available. What we are more interested in, however, is an individualized assessment from those with first hand experience. johnthepainter |

My doctor told me something that made me rethink the whole idea, and Im glad he told me because now the RSD has spread.
He said that it can only work in the one place it is intended to work in, and if the RSD spreads it wont cover the other areas. I dont mean this to discourage you, only to point out its limitations so that you can make an informed decision. Im glad you are searching for all the info, very wise! I wish you and your wife luck, and success in dealing with this.
