ANS must have a standard response to all questions asked. Last
year I had 6 surgeries trying to get my permanent device to work.
I had broken leads and then at the very end I had a severe
infection. I was on IV anti-biotics for six weeks. I went
through a whole year of surgeries to end up with the SCS
completely taken out. I have been trying to find an attorney but
with no luck. I have been very depressed since going through all
of this. I hope that you have better luck than I have had.
Sincerely,
Deb
