nerve pain as a result of Abbott stimulator

Posted by smithki @smithki, Sep 20 9:00am

I want ask anyone who has had the Abbott installed an embarrassing question that I am currently experiencing. I am having penis nerve pain that is terrible. I am going to a Urologist that has great suspicion that it is caused by the lead wires incerted in the wrong place. I have had my urine and blood analysis come back clear. I am going in for a cysto. this week to make sure there is no blockage but my doctor is 99.9% sure that is not the problem. If that checks out I will have an mri to check the lead wires, if that is it, it’s coming out. Has anyone had this issue???

I also have an SCS but mine is a Nevro and I had it implanted because I have CRPS in both legs and feet. What was the reason that you got the SCS implanted originally? was it for nerve pain in a different part of your body? I know since I’ve gotten mine it has hurt me more than it has helped me. I never had low back pain in my life until I got the stimulator because I constantly have to arch my back to get it to work.
