Sorry, I should have read your post more carefully. Yes, the SCS worked for about 2.5 years, then suddenly stopped. No explanation. I also had the pain pump implanted in 2023. Has never given me an iota of relief. Not trying to steer you away from either one. Just saying that they are not always the answer. I don't know. I am in severe chronic pain. Several drugs help a bit, but not significantly. If I could get opioids, I would likely go for it. We, who are in pain, will sometimes be willing to grasp at any straw to help us. Good luck!
