Thank you so for bringing your experiences to this thread so others may know of your life and hardship with pain and SCS. I am so saddened you had such difficulty both with the procedures and with the scarring afterward.
Yes, the medications are so limited in pain management. The situation of my sister-in-law, Terri, who with RSD, now known as CRPS has lived these twenty plus years with none but the meds and she carries the meds always, taking now more of them than would normally kill the ordinary individual.
Thus, I pray you are given peace from your pains and that you realize blessings in your life.
