Have they done nerve blocks and, if so, were they at all successful? I'm not here to give advice I just know that for MY pain doc the nerve blocks she did on me were giving her clues on whether she thought the SCS would be successful. It was, and HAS been now for right at one year (my Trial was put in July 28 of last year - HUGE success).
Have you ever had any type of muscle stim? TENS unit, or anything of the sort? If so, then that is (to me) exactly what this feels like except I can control the intensity. I, too, find it super soothing and not at all like my leg (in my case) is asleep. I have a "sock of soothing" from my mid-thigh down to my mid-shin on one leg - thereby short-circuiting pain from multiple damaged nerves in the same area. I have the Medtronic AdaptiveStim device and wouldn't trade it for any other pain management method.
Good luck and keep us posted!
