Spinal cord stimulator support

I am in the same situation that you are. I had to have a new stimulator placed in my lumbar which was successful. However, one of the leads had impedance in it. My PM tried his best to replace both of them but he said that there was simply too much scar tissue that had grown over them. He decided that it was best nor to remove them. My PM is the best and I did not disagree with him.

That blasted scar tissue! It sure threw a big wrench into my plans. Looks like the same situation for you. How bad is your pain. I am typically at a 7-8 on a daily basis. But, I am able to walk, just not long distances. Hope you can find something to help. Have you looked into a pain pump? I had a great trial, but the permanent implant has been a dud. Story of my medical journey to date. Good luck!
