Thinking about stimulator or pain pump for chronic lumbar pain

@anniesezu812 my twin and I are allergic to nickel, so my sister got hers done she immediately starting getting sick and broke out into a small rash. The doctor would not hear it the rash was most definitely not from the stimulator he said over and over even though she had been tested for every thing under the sun and the rash was getting bigger and worse as far as begging to ooze. Finally she said TAKE IT OUT and guess what as soon as it was removed she begin to heal. I will NEVER understand why, when and who decided that we don’t know our bodies. If they would just get back to being doctors and treat us with respect and compassion but I feel those days are gone and never coming back or at least not in my lifetime

@stillfighting
Thank you for this. Not only did I suffer right leg/ foot nerve damage / the bled/ scarring tissue, shifting electrodes etc, my body also rejected the hardware.
It was so bad some days I almost wanted to ' unalive ' myself.
I called Dr after Dr begging for someone to listen bht no one acknowledged it was the Stimulator.
The removing surgeon, separate from inplanting Dr grudgingly agreed for my condition i shoukd never have been given the Stimulator and it had made my condition...CRPS worse.
I am eternally grateful for this blog because the more we share the more we come to understand Drs are frequently NOT right and do not credit us for knowing our own bodies.
I have painfully learnt NEVER go against your gut...it virtually never steers you wrong. So happy your sister had a positive outcome. Appreciate the story ❤️
