Since at one time I was suggested a scs I have researched it a lot and also know people with one. I have PN and RSD. I do know 1 person with PN who has it but it does not seem as many for neuropathy as for RSD have it but I could be wrong. In both conditions I think one really has to weigh the pros and cons because often a doctor will suggest this because it makes them a lot of $ but may not be the best for you. There is a chance of spread to the area of placement. The leads often come undone etc. I know some people have had relief but some have had it make things worse. As you probably know they do a temp first. Also it is important to do less invasive treatments before this.
I encourage you to make an apt with an anestesiolgist pain doctor who can give you feedback on this and other procedures.
I agree it is hard to watch and hear others in pain. I feel for everyone here but am so thankful to have gotten such great support. I am not religious so have a hard time feeling this happened for some purpose but if that helps others that is all that is important. I do feel that therapy and support groups/forums can help one battle
