After falling 10 days ago and getting x-rays saying nothing is broken, I am wondering if the pain stimulator I have implanted in my back will help with the intense pain in my arms. I can adjust the stimulator up and down for the pain in my foot so If i turn it up will it help the pain in my arms?
Hi, I’m sorry that you’re in so much pain right now. I hope that your pain settles quickly and that the pain in your arms is not due to spread of the CRPS/RSD. Unfortunately, I don’t think that the SCS is likely to help with your arms – I would think that the lead will be positioned too low in your back to stimulate the nerve roots and area of your spinal cor. The only way to be sure would be to contact your technician and pain management specialist, who’ll be able to tell from their x-rays where the SCS electrodes are located and if would be possible to reprogram the SCS to cover your arm as well.
All the best.
You should use Tramadol, it is the best about it you can get information from here http://webmd29.notlong.com/AAHSqeA
