Treating chronic pain with spinal cord stimulator implants, by Dr Reza G...
This is the procedure my pain management specialist and I are considering to help with my nerve pain from RSD. Now this would only be available to help with the pain in my right leg...not my arm as it's not safe to implant the device in the neck. It would only help decrease the pain, but not reverse or stop the spread of the contortion of my ankle/foot. And I would still be attempting to treat the nerve pain in my right arm with low-level pain meds (I can't take higher level meds because I have to be at least remotely functional to be able to care for Braeden). And nothing in modern medicine can reverse or stop the contortion in either limb, we're just trying to lessen the degree of severity of the pain. (part 1)
