Guest guest Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I want to welcome all the new members to the group. My name is Sue. I have RSD along with several other medical conditions. I have both a cervical and lumbar spinal cord stimulator as well as a pain pump. The implants have made it possible for me to be able to function. They have given me back my quality of life. The stim is not a cure. Your original problem is still there. The stim is a means of being able to live your life. The goal is to reduce your pain level by 50-60%. You have to do things in moderation. If you overdo it, or do things that you shouldn't do, your pain level will increase. You will still have bad days, but you will have more good days than bad ones. Please feel free to introduce yourself to the group and ask any questions that you may have. We are here to support and encourage each other in the good times and in the bad times.
