Spinal Cord stimulator battery pain

I had an Abbout stimulator installed about 5 months ago. From the start I had extreme burning sensation around the areas of the battery pack, the wires going up my back, and where the shock is located in my middle back.
It still hurts basically all the time but it’s a lot worse if I lay on my back, recline in my recliner, or even sit in a chair that has a back on it.
On my first visit post op, the doctor pretty much thought it was post op pain. Second visit I saw a pretty new NP and I don’t think she knew much. It’s getting to the point now that I realize that something needs to be done.
It does seem to have helped me with the low back pain but this new pain is just as bad or worse.

I also had an Abbott almost 2 months ago and I think I have more pain now than before. I am a back sleeper but I cannot sleep like that anymore.
I am getting nerve pain in areas that is requiring me to see a urologist.
I am scheduled for a Cysto procedure tomorrow and if all is clear I get an MRI to see where the surgeon placed the wires. My Urologist is suspecting that the Abbott is the thing causing the pain.
I have buyers remorse and wish I had read the Mayo blogs, to see what others are experiencing, probably would have skipped on the implant

Hello Everyone,
Im active on this site so you may recognize me!
I also have 'deep buyers remorse' re SCS. I was co- erced into mine, despite protests. Sadly the " Trtal" is nothing like the real deal and I was lead to believe it was a minimal procedure....for me it was not, and as with others my pain is now much worse and I assume I have nerve damage, especially prevalent in the right leg.
To the person struggling with battery pack pain, mine got so bad I ended up on a liquid diet for over 3 months. It exacerbated my existing abdominal pain horrendously.
Eventually my body was rejecting the battery pack so terribly I had everything removed. Even at this point Drs were suggesting I leave the hardware " just in case for the future". The last 8 months I had the device it was switched off.
I am 7 weeks post very painful removal but thankfully g the very painful/ large swelling around the battery pack is subsiding but I too cannot put any pressure on this location. I can only speak from my experience but our bodies were not designed to accommodate these devices. If you feel able, I would highly recommend removal if hardware causes pain.. Even switched off, I experienced complications....spinal canal bled and much scar tissue build up. I cannot understand Drs pushing SPC so much....$$$$ I guess....shameful. This is my personal story and I'm sharing it to help others...we must each trust our gut, since no one else feels our Pain. Gd luck All❤️
