Spinal cord stimulator removal anyone?

The. Abbott spinal cord stim is MRI able with the proper configuration. Just had mine removed . Surgery was botched by a pain doctor. Same guy who installed it too shallow resulting in a pressure wound. Never worked anyway.. To get it removed I would find a real surgeon preferably a neurosurgeon to do it correctly in a hospital with the proper surgery equipment. I wish I had followed that advice I just gave you. The estheoligist sp. blew it in a “Surgury center”. He left some wires and it got infected. Now I’m in the hospital where I should have started

I am having mine removed from a neurosurgeon. It’s really up high I have a picture of when they put it in I will post. It’s literally in the top of my neck cresting a vertebrae to bulge out below the implant.
