Hi welcome. I am sorry about your struggles. I think there is a sub forum for scs you may want to post on. I have RSD and PN and there are more on the RSD forum too that have had scs implanted that could offer you some feedback. It seems less here have the scs with PN. My friend with PN though had 2 implanted but had to get a pump instead because of them not working properly. I have heard people mention pain where the scs battery is,the implant site,etc. Have you talked to the doctor who did the scs surgery? I remember that when I was looking into it someone stated about the placement of battery being important. Sorry I am not much help. I hope you can get some relief
