I am a 69-year-old young man who has chronic back and leg pain. My L5 & S1 discs are shot, bone on bone. I didn’t want major back surgery so my pain management doctor suggested a spinal cord stimulator. I did the trial and everything went OK and decided to have it permanently implanted. After a few months and different reprogramming I noticed issues with my bladder and prostate. Talked with all my docs and asked them if they ever heard of the possibility of overstimulation? Everyone said never heard of overstimulation from SCS. Well, my symptoms progressed to the point where I had so much pain in my prostate I couldn’t sit. I went to my urologist after several visits and he informed me that I had some nerve damage in my bladder & chronic prostatitis. I decided to shut off the SCS and within 24 hours 80% of the pain went away. Has anyone had any side effects from a spinal cord stimulator?
