Anyone tried Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pain?

Thank you so much…have read mixed results about SCS, had been recommended by pain management for spine issues. Having nerve ablation for lower spine area on 8/1, 🤞, and also have ischial bursitis. Also pudendal nerve issues on and off, but more off these days. Along with the Levator ani. Pelvic stew!!!
No one has ever suggested a cause or cure for the LA, so I thought I would reach out to everyone and see if there were some ideas.
Pudendal nerve entrapment was never mentioned for possible cause. One more thing to follow up on if ablation doesn’t help some of this. Would prefer not to have SCS if possible, so I am going to exhaust all before. Thanks!!!

I have had a few ablations for severed nerves in my thorasic area. I now have a lot of numbness on the right side of my body and two pseudo hernias, one in front and one in back which are very painful. The nerve blocks and ablations have worked but don't last.
I had a week long trial with a spine cord stimulator with an 80% reduction of pain so I am going forward with the permanent implant. it feels like the only possibility for pain relief left.
