I have had terrible pain in my pelvis since I suffered nerve damage from widespread fractures in 2015. Sitting has been impossible without a heating pad under me. My pain doctor tried everything but nothing worked. I now have a Stimwave peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) that blocks the pain. It has saved my sanity. Other PNS devices are also available and covered by insurance for intractable pain that has not responded to other treatment. PNS devices are much less expensive than spinal cord stimulators and do NOT go into your spine. The wires are inserted along the nerves that serve the area where your pain is, and the stimulation blocks the pain signal. The battery is external and you can take it on and off. Look into it, discuss it with your doctor, and see if this might be a solution for you. It has made my life bearable again.
