Hi there,  about the SCS.  Any type of surgery can spread your RSD.  I myself decided against the SCS or morphine pump they wanted me to try.  Instead, I had ECT with much success.  I was bedbound for 3 years.  I now work part time caring for a young man with CP.  We lift weights and work out together.  I could have never done it without Electro Convulsive Therapy!
  
 Hope this helps you.  God bless you.
