Spinal Cord stimulator battery pain

Hi. I had a stimulator implanted on January 15, 2026. I still have some procedure pain. BUT, where the unit is hurts all the time. Then middle of my back hurts. My amazing pain doctor said the neurosurgeon may have to move the unit? Every time I move, sit against anything, and try to sleep it hurts and is uncomfortable. Mine is a Boston Scientific though. I keep feeling like it’s me and I’m nervous about it. I’m so sorry you and others are having problems. I see the neurosurgeon in a week so I’ll have to tell them and see what they say.

@kmp1123 I have a Boston Scientific, too. I was told by one of their representatives that they never heard of anybody having pain in their back. Mine hurts as the unit starts to run down. too. I was told by one of their representatives that they never heard of anybody having pain in their back. Mine hurts as the battery starts to run down. The Pain now has expanded to several inches away from the battery. I'm back with my PAIN MANAGEMENT doctor trying to figure out what the heck is going on. If I lean against something like the car seat or the kitchen chair, it hurts more than.
I find it extremely frustrating that Boston Scientific is not more receptive to hearing about my situation. I have had my implant for numerous years.. my biggest complaint is no one listens.
