Hey Lit Love. I would do the same thing over again...but maybe just with a different doctor. The SCS's helped me get through my last year and a half of work. The SCS's also helped with desensitizing my hands and increasing the movement in my left shoulder/arm (it was pretty stiff and I had limited movement). So for me, they were beneficial. Now, I have had some other issues with them (another lead migration and battery is twisted) and the effectiveness has worn off. So they need to go.
