CRPS, fibromyalgia, and Small Fiber Neuropathy sufferer. Had a Spinal Cord Stimulator implanted in my 2nd, 3rd and 4th vertebrae and unfortunately I was unable to ever use it, it made my CRPS much worse. I’m scheduled for removal surgery but would love to talk to someone who has gone through the same. I’m told this is a really tough situation because of the placement being in my upper neck. I’m in need of an mri and of course you can’t get one with this stimulator. Any feedback is appreciated!

You can have an MRI using some of the newer machines. I had my SCS removed after several months and the procedure was a piece of cake. No residual effects except to get rid of the damned thing. Waste of time, energy, money. I am sorry for your trouble. I believe I know what you are going through.
