Got my trial spinal cord stimulator removed yesterday (8/22/25) It didn't work for my nerve pain. They tried to get me to keep it in over the weekend and try and different setting. I declined. I was so ready to have it removed. I am so happy it was just a trial. It did not hurt to remove it. The only thing I felt was the tape that was holding the implant on my back. Now that hurt a lot! I don't know what's next to relieve my nerve pain.
