RSD(S)-CRPS Advisory
An RSD(S)-CRPS Advisory Introduction
RSD(s)-CRPS Advisory is an information, guidance, support, resource and research
friendly adviser relating to RSD(S)/CRPS, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome,
known also as, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Having been diagnosed myself in
2003, having a permanent Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) implanted in 2006, having had
several Lumbar Sympathetic Nerve Blocks and having graduated from the Compass Center
for Functional Restoration on July 17, 2009 in Sacramento California it continues to be
my passion to promote awareness and offer support to others like me, to their families
and friends so that they too might learn about this painful and complex, often
progressive and debilitating neurological pain disorder which affects the sympathetic
nervous system commonly known as the "fight or flight".
A support system is necessary to achieve the best possible future for both the patient,
survivor and their families.

| http://www.tamethepain.com/ I’M LEARNING ABOUT CHRONIC PAIN THERAPIES If you've tried other treatments but are still suffering from chronic pain, you may be relieved to hear about other options: Medtronic Chronic Pain Therapies. Medtronic offers two types of FDA-approved therapies for chronic pain: spinal cord stimulation and targeted drug delivery. If you have been in pain for more than 6 months and your current treatment has not provided adequate back pain relief or chronic pain relief, Medtronic Chronic Pain Therapies may be the right choice for you. http://www.medtronic.com For Patients For Healthcare Professionals |
TALK TO A MEDTRONIC PAIN THERAPY AMBASSADOR
Wondering what it’s like to receive spinal cord stimulation or targeted drug delivery?
Talk with a Medtronic Pain Therapy Ambassador! An ambassador is someone who is living
with one of our chronic pain therapies and has volunteered to share his or her experience.
If you are considering neurostimulation therapy or targeted drug delivery, the Medtronic
Chronic Pain Therapy Ambassador Program gives you the opportunity to talk on the phone
with someone who is living with the therapy. These patient ambassadors want to share their
experience with you and answer your questions. Because they have lived with chronic pain
and are now receiving a Medtronic Chronic Pain Therapy, ambassadors offer insight that can
be very helpful.
When you talk with your ambassador, you might ask questions like:
When did you begin receiving pain therapy?
What did you experience during the screening test?
How has pain therapy changed your life?
When you sign up to talk to an ambassador, you'll be able to view profiles of all of our
ambassadors, choose the ambassador you want to talk to, and schedule a time that is
convenient for you to talk.
Medtronic cares about helping you move forward in your pain journey and is offering this
program at no cost.
