Consider sympathetic: Consider sympathetic blocks if you have not had that. You need to see a physician who has expertise in doing these blocks, to see if it can do anything to help relieve your chronic pain

Good Indication: SCS has a good track record for effective reduction in pain from CRPS. It can allow for a reduction or in many cases, elimination of opioids and anticonvulsant type of medications used to treat neuropathic pain. A simple outpatient trial can assess whether you are a good candidate. Have your PCP refer you to a board certified Pain Medicine specialist.
