Hello Little Kingdom and welcome! So sorry you are suffering. You have come to the right place, lots of good people here. I won't duplicate what others have said, they have all shared useful insights. For me personally, I chose not to get a SCS. You are doing good stuff to take care of yourself - clean eating, no alcohol, staying active via yoga and working. Great job! Is it your goal to stay off pain meds?? As others have mentioned, you do have options - you're on low dose gaba, if it helps you then consider asking your doc to double the dose to 1200 mg daily. I don't know the region of your pain, but lidoderm patches can be helfpul. Warm epsom salt baths, gentle physical therapy , swimming in warm water, meditation. Tramadol. In my humble opinion , a SCS would be way down on MY list of things to try.
Wishing you wellness,
Lottie
