Burning pain is obviously nerve pain as you note . I have steadfastly refused nerve medication, im on enough.
I intuitively knew after 3 months SCS was cause of my terrible issues. I switched it off permanently. I think you can only listen carefully to your body but pls know the SCS can cause some very bizzare pains. I now have frightening pains in the souls of my feet when I eat . My issues started at about week 6. Good luck.

I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience. Sometimes I wonder if it's the device or a poor surgery that did not properly implant the device. Did you have a successful trial? It seems that having a good trial is no indicator of whether the permanent implant will help.
I certainly hope that you can get over the different issues you are currently experiencing.
