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.
