Spinal cord stimulator scar9/20/2023 ![]() For the first time in years, I actually feel semi human. I initially regretted that stooopid decision, however, interstingly enough my pain is no worse and I and I am now thankfully coming to the end of the horrendous withdrawal symptoms. Also as they only caused me more issues than they solved I threw all of my tablets away in a fit of rage the other week. I have resorted to having some trousers and underwear custom made, so the wiast bands don't dig in. Mine still sticks out and like yours almost feels as though it has flipped. I find the most difficult pain to deal with is that around the battery site. My revision surgery is on 3rd December, so that just about cancels out Christmas as I start my 8 weeks of doing nothing again!!! Lol.This time I'm gonna spend the first month in bed and hopefully not move anything. Thus ever since that surgery I have had lots of pain in both legs as a result of the leads rubbing against the nerves in my back. During the surgery to make the implant permanent they didn't re-check the signals, they just sewed everything into place. I think what happened was that during the trial I got myself hooked up on a towel rail in my bathroom and probably dislodged the wires. However what I now know is that the leads both moved and the one I really need, the one on the left is not even in the correct position. Initially it was thought that my body was rejecting the implant. For me a resolution is hopefully not far away now. I am so sorry that you are still having problems and I hope they can get you sorted out. I have been struggling like you with lots of pain issues. Firstly apologies for not have been on the forum for ages. ![]()
