Thursday 10/26/2023. I met with Corporate Nevro Rep, Preston Nevro Rep
and another Nevro Rep at the office of pain management. I was told by the Dr that after reviewing the x-rays again (that were done a month ago). The spinal Cord Stimulator paddle was placed too high and that is why I have not been getting relief for the past 8 months. He was sending a referral to a new surgeon for revision of the placement. The doctor said the surgeon placed it too high. I am waiting to hear from the new surgeon. My stimulator is shut off now and my pain is unbearable. Thank you for your kind words and I hope you get some relief.

During these SCS implant surgeries, there is a rep in the OR guiding the surgeon in placement of the paddle/leads. If your paddle was placed incorrectly, that's on the rep. Unless there was no rep present at the surgery.
