Hello @jaxonsgigi, welcome to Connect. Glad you came to inquire. You'll find a supportive community here.

Member @heisenberg34 mentioned having an SCS removed. Basically the same reasons - it's not working and they needed to have an MRI . Here is their comment:

I'm sorry the stimulator didn't bring relief and is stirring up symptoms. It's understandable that you'd be nervous given the location. When are you scheduled for the removal?
