My wife of 4 years has an implant to help with her RSD. Her pain is now all but gone!!! We are so happy. She spent almost 3 years in a wheelchair, and is now doing thereapy twice a week. She can walk, but has a low stamina... for now. Does anyone else want to share their experiances? Any one else have RSD?

That is excellent that her pain is gone! I'm assuming that she had a spinal cord stimulator implant? I have had RSD/CRPS for a little over two years now. I got it from a knee surgery that I had when I was 13. I've also had a spinal cord stimulator along with many other treatments, all have had a short term pain relief. My spinal cord stimulator gave me 9 months of relief (after 4 surgeries for it), but my scar tissue (I have keloid scarring condition) has finally taken over the leads again and blocked the stimulation. I'm hoping to get into a low does ketamine treatment program in Arkansas soon with hope for possible pain relief. I hope that your wife continues to have relief!
