A member asked:
Would a spinal cord stimulator help with sympathetic independent pain of the left leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Spinal cord stimulation(scs) therapy is one of the best and effective therapies for crps. The key though is having the right diagnosis first (other clinical conditions can present with leg pain too) and getting a scs trial therapy first so as to determine whether or not one is a candidate for the scs therapy on a permanent basis. Good luck and be well.
