    I had a bone growth stimulator and a spinal cord stimulator implanted a
    few years ago. It did some weird things to me. None of which helped my
    pain. The wires starting comming through the skin in my back and the unit
    was removed in an emergency surgery.. While the device was implanted in
    me, I was always ill, I lost weight, was depressed, my labido was really
    low, and my interpersonell relationships suffered immensely. Since the
    unit was removed I have been able to function much better. I sure would
    like some information regarding a law-suit. The device was I am sure
    defective and improperly installed. When it was removed med tronic phoned
    me and wanted me to send them my controller... I wonder why. I still have
    the unit. The battery and controller in a box somewhere.... I just don't
    know what to do. I feel like I was pressured to have the thing put in,
    and then thrown to the wolves afterword. So, any help would be
    appreciated......

    Thanks a million.

    Wes
