I have CRPS in my left hand I haven't been able to work for the last 10 months because I type for a living. I had the temporary nerve stimulator put in last Monday and it will be taken out tomorrow and I will discuss with the doctor if I want to get the permanent one put in. The relief that I'm receiving from the nerve stimulator is not as much as I was hoping for I do have some relief maybe about 30% the feeling that I have in my left hand is as if razor blades are cutting me and it never stops if I touch something then it is as if you're pouring gasoline into the wounds the pain is that extreme I'm on disability from work luckily I work at a disability company so I do have a disability policy I am depressed and Confused I found this forum and have been reading that there are so many people like me out there that understand what I'm going through does anyone have the nerve stimulator and can you please tell me your experience with it good or bad I'm just trying to get as much information as I can before I see the doctor and decide whether or not to have the permanent one put in thank you very much

    Take a deep breath, you're not alone.  I found this group and just like you, I thought I was alone in this fight.  I also have issues with my left arm which has now spread to my left leg, head, face and eyes.  It's also attacked my immune system but I'm not going to stop fighting and I don't want you to either.  Were all here for you and we all understand what you're going thru.  I don't know about the stimulator but I'm sure others will be able to help answer those questions.  Good luck my friend.
