Re: ...blocks and epadurals after stemulator implant????????

[Guest guest]

I also have RSD - I have a spinal cord stim and two peripheral nerve

stimulators. My SCS has been in for about 5 years and I have had at

least 10 blocks, (probably more - i can't keep count anymore). I know

my doctor doesn't like to do epidurals after spinal cord stimulators

if I remember correctly, but he does spinals and sympathetic blocks.

I'm glad to hear to you are at least getting some relief from the

stim, I know with rsd we will take anything we can get. I hope things

worked out at the doctors.
