Sometimes the chronic pain of CRPS (FKA RSD), can be almost impossible to relieve with the usual analgesics due to tolerance. An epidural steroid injection has a finite duration and is unlikely to be a solution. Spinal cord stimulators do have potential but should be evaluated fully prior to final surgical placement. A specialty surgeon can advise regarding the procedure.
