I am so sorry you have had such problems with Prager and you SCS. Unfortunately you are not alone. Please see the discussion below.

For additional information you may do an advanced search of failed SCS and CRPS.
You are so young to be dealing with this. How long did your SCS work? Have you considered less invasive treatments? A second opinion might be in order, particularly if your SCS needs to be removed. If so you will need to take precautions to prevent additional spread.
Take care and hoping better days are ahead for you.
