Hello @jujubean1934, Welcome to Connect. What an awful experience with a spinal cord stimulator surgery that was supposed to provide some pain relief. I can't begin to imagine how hard that has been for you. There is another discussion where members have shared their experience with spinal stimulators being removed that might be helpful:
--- Anyone had Spinal stimulator removed? Replaced?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/spinal-stimulator/.

Can you share what bothers you the most of all your symptoms?

What bothers me the most as far as the nuropathy goes is the burning feet and the tingling keeping me awake the most.also would say not knowing till it's there ready to come out to use bathroom not just one but both ways. Sorry if that is a little graffic just want to help someone else or just let them know if this has happened that there not alone. I feel like u am on how it happened have not herd or read anywhere in the last. 6 years of anyone having this happen to them . But as far as the other side of it is not being able to do what I use to do . I have excepted now but it was devastating at first. You look for the relief from pain that a stimulator is supposed to bring and when I done the trial it did I was so happy was even looking forward to posability of working again . So when I did not walk out and did not walk for days after or stand I was very devastated. But im pushing threw that it has taken my mobility and my health straight down . It not only gave me nuropathy it also weakened my spine erea at the base of my tail bone for standing up straight or even just standing is a issue I can walk better than I can stand in one spot . I have done many hours of physical therapy for it and the rest but that is the one thing that has not improved alot .
