AI Article Synopsis
- A 69-year-old woman suffered from severe erythromelalgia, likely related to past deep-vein thromboses, resulting in burning pain in her legs and feet.
- She initially received transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, but complications arose, leading to the use of spinal cord stimulation for pain management.
- After a 6-month break from stimulation, the spinal cord stimulation was reestablished, successfully providing relief once again.
Article Abstract
A 69-yr-old woman with severe, long-standing erythromelalgia possibly secondary to multiple deep-vein thromboses, was treated with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for the burning pain in her legs and feet. Problems developed, and she was subsequently successfully managed with spinal cord stimulation. The relief was reproduced after a 6-mo period of no stimulation by reestablishing spinal cord stimulation.
