I am undergoing a trial right now of Medtronic Spinal Cord Stimulator, and unfortunately it did not resolve the neuropathy in my hands or feet. I do get Unexpected shocks if I move certain ways.
I am having it removed today and do not plan to move forward with the SPS
I had the BS SCS installed in 2014. It never helped much. Around Sept 2017 I started noticing the SCS was stimulating when the device was OFF. I reported it to BS December 2017. BS never heard of the problem. Feb 2018 BS down;loaded data but never got back with me. I suffered with unwanted SCS with the device off & even with the battery completely drained. My body is emulating their programs. A year later I contact BS again, still they never heard of it. About a year now BS had me return to pain doctor to run diagnostics. BS sent expert, sales & tech to try new programs. Now the BS SCS caused my body to emulate another of their new programs. It could not even be deleted & now causes severe pain with the device off & battery discharged. I am getting a run-around & no help to stop the agony. The pain doctor & BS could not tell me the problem would stop IF the device is removed & only given options to stop my body pain but not the pain caused by the BS SCS. Where do I go from here? HELP!
