I did a very long time ago and it didn't work. BUT the DR. I had was not good and the woman from the place where the stimulator was from wasn't much help. I see now there are a many various makes of them.

My first SCS was a Medtronics unit. It worked really well. Nevro and Boston make units as well. I think the key is finding an experienced neurosurgeon with excellent reviews. Placing the electrode paddle in just the right spot is critical. Give a different SCS a trial.

Might be worth another trial. Perhaps a different type of stimulator.
