Smithki...I feel exactly the same as you. Didnt want device, talked into it...trial pretty much a breeze. Permanent Stimulator was horrendous, I just had it removed, with serious complications...HOW can Drs in good conscience recommend these damaging devices...they are dangerous.... Seems too many of us " trust" our Drs. too much....Im now often deemed non compliant cuz I trust my gut first.

Can you tell what complications you are having and how long have did you have it implanted?
I believe I am having nerve issues with mine to the point I shut it off. I don’t even want to talk to the pain doctors who installed it because I don’t want a song and a dance that something else caused it. I have no medical proof but as you, my gut tells me it was the cause of this unit. Thanks for responding back to me.
