WELCOME TO THE GRP. CHRISTINA,

I don't have a scs. but have had RSD for several years. I live up north in MN.. You have landed in a very special place where you can vent, find some advice, support and anything else I left out of just living. My RSD is in my legs and feet mostly.

I'm a used to be LPN. Think there is another nurse around here also. Take care and welcome.

Welcome, . You've come to a good place. Some folks here are newly diagnosed while others have had RSD for a very long time. Quite a few of us, my self included, have a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) and our individual results are extremely mixed, ranging from not so successful to the SCS being the best thing since sliced bread. Looking forward to seeing you here - Barbara wrote:

Hello everyone. My name is . I live in TX. Im a wife, mother to a 16 y/o son and a RN. I am joining your group in serach of support, advice and friendship all of which I also hope I can provide in return. I have RSD in my right hand that resulted due to an infiltrated and neglected IV site. This occured in December of 03. Since then, I have had surgeries and tried other routes for relief. Now I am looking at a implanted spinal stimulator. I wanted to know if anyone here has had this device or has it now and what your experience has been. Thank you. in TX

Hello, ,

Let me welcome you as well. As I've said, this is a great group of people.

I can't answer your questions about an SCS. I am not a candidate for one, due

to a high risk of infections. I have one of those bodies that simply does not

respond well to any medication, including antiobiotics.

I see that you have been getting some info from the group, though!

Hugs,

Jo
