As you continue to read the various comments from fellow pain sufferers, it should become evident that not all PN patients have pain, even after years. I guess they are the lucky ones. My PN started about a year ago. I had lower back and buttock pain from a bad fall ten years ago. I had the pain under decent control for a while with the help of some drugs and a SCS. Four years ago the pain came roaring back. In 2023 I had a pain pump implanted. It has not yet given me any relief. I am in the process of having it amped up slowly. I had just one day when all the pain in my feet and back of my legs disappeared. It was magical. Then it came back the next day. Will continue ramping it up until I can get that relief again.
Is your pain bad enough to warrant a pain pump trial. In my trial the pain dropped from an 8 to a 2. I wish you well on your journey.
