Hello has anyone out there had a BurstDr. stimulator for CRPS/RSD pain? I am particular interested in cervical BurstDr stimulator for upper body ie: in my case for my left hand. If there is someone out there with CRPS I would appreciated if you would share your positive or negative experience with this stimulator.
Thank You

I have a Burst stimulator in my low back for low back pain. I then developed CRPS in the ankle and the SCS happened to reach to the ankle so they programmed it to hit better at the ankle, I got about a 30% reduction in pain. Now, I saw you said BurstDr. Do you mean a DRG? Dorsal Root Ganglion? That is a very different thing than a normal SCS- that hits the exact dorsal root ganglion to your hand and so "should" be highly effective. They did offer that to me for my ankle, but I had so much else going on, I chose an intrathecal drug pump system.
