hello, Your post is from April so I am wondering if you had the DRG stimulator placed and what your results have been. I am scheduled to be having this done as I have had pudendal nerve pain since 2015. Mine started out like you describe and that really horrible pain lasted about 2 years. Subsided some, and came back worse in 2018. Now I have pain, but it is not intolerable like that was. I too saw about 15-20 doctors and had 2 perineal scar tissue revisions thinking it may have something to do with all of the vaginal scar tissue I had post babies (25 plus years ago). It really didn't make sense but I was willing to try anything. I'm so sorry about the failed surgery you had. I also considered that surgery and was going to go to New Jersey where it was offered. Instead, I have been staying here and continuing to try almost anything to get relief. The Nura Pain Clinic in Minneapolis is offering the DRG. Did you find it worth it?

I had a trial of DRG stim, went home read the book and  had Dr awake it ulout the next dayDRG approved to work for 1 yr. Only. It can become infected. It can kill you.  What you can and can't do was 33 pgs but he 66 pgs book on how to use it, recharge it and interact with yet another phone like thing. I'm not doing that.Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
