Well, if you decide you want to give it another try, you can try to get a neurolosurgeon to remove or replace or reposition your current device. Specialists specialize just like ortho docs (shoulders, knees, etc.), or attorneys (real-estate, family, business law etc.), so there might be a Neurosurgeon who specializes in this. That would be ideal. Anestheologists do work on spines such as injestions. Not all of them though. But if it were me, I would find a Neurosurgeon who specializes in implanting these. Ideally that would be the best option. No judgment here. All the best, Sunnyflower @sprinrosa64
