I agree with Heisenberg and maybe ask for a different rep. I have an Abbott Wavewriter SCS. A rep (there are two or three for my area) contacts me within hours of my text or call, sometimes that evening but never the next day. I have had it reprogrammed a few times and I never wait more than week to be seen for that. Go up the ladder, area rep, district rep, regional rep - whatever and contact someone at Abbott customer support because what you're experiencing is totally unacceptable. Does your doctor know how you're being ignored? They should be contacting the rep too. I am so sorry you're dealing with this and hope you get the help you deserve.

My pain doctor is going to take care of it. Question for you. When you first got your stimulator did it start working? When you get reprogrammed do you get more relief? I am still on the same program from the time it was implanted over 2 months ago with no relief.
