I’m only 53 and now on permanent disability. After 4 surgeons I went to Mayo Clinic and was told one of my screws came loose but leave it alone and put a stimulator in , which I done in January and got 4 days of 95% relief until I bent to far and pulled the wires lose. I went in April 7 and had the paddles put in instead of the leads . I’m going Thursday to get those annoying staples out and get the stimulator turned on. I’m on doctor #7 and will keep searching until I get answers

I guess you may have violated one of the "Prime Directives" of SCS surgery...no lifting more than ten pounds; no raising arms over your head; no bending over, etc. I remember when I had mine put in and how hard it was to remember all those "don'ts". I hope it gives you as much relief as you had originally.
