Default Groin pain related to nerve damage from bladder sling surgery ( TOTVT)

I had a bladder sling for stress incontence 2 yrs ago. from that surgery I suffered damage to my ilioinguinal-hypo gastric nerve which causes constant pain, especially with any activity. I am unable to do want I want to do & is very frustrating. I tried a peripheral nerve stim in my groin but the stim was to positional & I didn't receive the pain relief I needed. I have had numerous steroid inj with only 5 hrs of relief. I wear a Butrans pain patch & take Gabitril, Zoloft & Tramadol daily but still unable to obtain the relief I need. Last week I trialled a spinal cord stimulator. During the 5 day trial my entire left leg from my hip to the bottom of my foot was being stimulated & I only need it for groin pain, NOT my entire leg! Has anyone experience this type of nerve damage & what have you done?
