I had an Abbout stimulator installed about 5 months ago. From the start I had extreme burning sensation around the areas of the battery pack, the wires going up my back, and where the shock is located in my middle back.
It still hurts basically all the time but it’s a lot worse if I lay on my back, recline in my recliner, or even sit in a chair that has a back on it.
On my first visit post op, the doctor pretty much thought it was post op pain. Second visit I saw a pretty new NP and I don’t think she knew much. It’s getting to the point now that I realize that something needs to be done.
It does seem to have helped me with the low back pain but this new pain is just as bad or worse.
