Anyone had pain with a spinal stimulator?

Is this a new spinal cord stimulator for you or was it implanted some time ago? Did it always cause pain or did it just start hurting recently?

@vincescs It was implanted like maybe 3 years ago or longer

@vincescs it never caused me pain before. All of a sudden now it does

yes, the battery might be too large located on the spine.
I had the Abbott Eterna first implanted a few years ago, the newest device developed by Abbott, as it was a battery non-rechargeable. It was extending out and away from the spine, causing pain. A few months later, I scheduled an appointment with the neurosurgeon, and it was agreed to remove it, and place it with a smaller device, chargeable, I believe it was called Burst (?) much to my dismay.
Do I have it implanted? No, it was all removed last year. As my neurosurgeon explained, the SCS relieves pain in 50% of the population, and he noted, I gave it a very good try.

@vikkitennis mine I charge with the thing on my battery where it is and it even hurts to put it on there now. I am going to a new pain clinic in May because of my induction and wanting it removed and in too much pain right now and can barely walk

Does anyone have any positive experiences with the spinal cord stimulator? My sister is considering getting one and from what I read here, it doesn’t sound worth the effort. Thanks

@willow5 At first I did but now I don’t anymore and doesn’t help with pain anymore and causing me pain inside and in my hip. Wishing her the best of luck.
