Spinal Stimulator removal after nine years concerned about potential p

Have you had previous back surgeries? I am just wondering because sometimes MRI’s when you have a lot of scar tissue are less diagnostic.
When I did the trial of the Boston Scientific SCS in October I did have pain on one side after removal of the leads. The doc said it likely fired up my nerves and that would get better. It lasted about 3 days so I iced the area often in the meantime. It did completely go away.
I know this does not answer your question as you have had the implant so long. Hopefully someone with more experience can answer.
Best to you and your health 🙏

I had a trial for the Nevro and it seems like the pain is worse now after they took the trial out. I'm beginning to have a strong dislike for pain management doctors and the reps for these companies who tell you it's all pie in the sky.
My Doctor didn't say there could be pain after the trial leads were removed. Glad I am finding this out from you! I am in worse pain since the trial leads were removed for a Nevro tial. Who is your doctor and where if you don't mind me asking. I will travel to talk to a Dr that will give me needed information. Thanks
