I have had bone & Joint issues since my 20's. 18 surgeries later 3 disc cervical fusion , a 3 disc lumbar fusion a year later a 360 surgery fusion did not work and a jaw joint replaced. I was seen by Orthopedic surgeon for my Cervical fusion that did not work. He advised me he would not recommend surgery and referred to pain care trial was wonderful but permanent stimulator has been a nightmare. I had been shocked, pain at battery site, sciatica on the side of the battery extremely bad. Heard a loud pop in my neck and stimulator would not cut on. I knew I would have to have surgery to have it removed plus my Mother passed away.All of this happened within the first 2 months and I went back in 1/15/2026 I was told it was not broken got it working and a few days later stopped working again. I called pain care office they said per the previous note the stimulator had at 20 leads not working and they asked me if the rep for the stimulator had advised me of that I told her no she said it was not broken. They lied I am having it taken out and have an attorney. There is no hope now!
