Anyone tried Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pain?

@mgh15 I'm sorry, but I missed the reason you're considering an SCS. I've learned that the further the signal has to travel to reach the location of the pain, the less likely that it will help. The pain I'm reaching for is in my feet and ankles.
BTW, the pain specialist recommended a memory foam cushion. I visited our daughter shortly after that and tried out the one she has, and found it to be very comfortable, so I ordered one on Amazon from Cushion Lab. It makes sense. Sitting, the nerves to my feet and legs are being compressed or stretched. My daughter gave me a tie died bag that the cushion just fits in, so it goes with me - when I think of it.

The pain usually radiates around my hip, groin and interior thigh. Lately It is also in my lower back on the same side. It has radiated down to my foot, but that happens less now.
I will try a memory foam cushion as I find sitting on my couch painful after a little time. Thanks for including the brand name.
