I also have a SCS. You may need to contact Medtronic to have them recalibrate you. You can also turn the battery off. Im sorry for your frustration. I can certainly understand your pain as I do not get the relief from my stimulator as well.

I had terrible complications with mine. Its bedn removed 5 weeks ago, due all the nerve pain it caused me recovery is very hard.
Pls keep contacting someone to help. Any complications with your spine can be very serious.
You have to be VERY proactive and advocate strongly. I was up against male medical Drs telling me removal wasn't wise, but I fought for it and despite my hard recovery im glad its gone. The hardware was causing considerable pain and it was switched off. Pls fight for your health!!
