Hi @lorirenee1 I am so sorry to hear of your unfortunate experience. It almost sounds like getting an electric shock. I do not plan to have a stimulator implanted but this information will be helpful to those considering one. Good to know. I don’t think any success in relieving pain will be long lasting with a stimulator. At least I haven’t heard of a successful story. For you the device brought on the pain. I think stopping it will alleviate the additional pain. You were able to hang in there for 5 months. You gave it a chance. Best wishes to you. Toni
